Not One Of Woody Allen's Successes

Rating: 4/10 (26 July 2012)

Woody Allen movies seem to always be either a hit or a miss. This particular film didn't even rise to the miss category. It was predictable and dull. There were a few funny lines, which all happened to be Woody's, but even those were few and far between. Woody's last effort, Midnight in Paris, was a delight, pure perfection. This one, however, is so forgettable as to be not worth bothering with. I will say I enjoyed Alec Baldwin's part, but that wasn't nearly enough to carry the movie. It was clear how Allen wanted to have the mix all come together and easy to see what he was striving for with each episode.but none of it really worked. Over-acted and under-written. I would say skip this one and wait for Woody's next film. Odds are it will be a hit.or at least something better than this one.
