Beyond simply bad - it's irritating

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2013)

Hope springs eternal. You see his name on a movie. You think back nostalgically to "Annie Hall". You ignore how much you hated his last movie. You try to be optimistic that this will be better. You think the movie can't be worse than the last. But it always is. Woody Allen becomes more irritating with each new movie: the bumbling persona that hasn't been funny for 25 years , the pretentiousness, the pseudo-intellectual fantasy mumbo jumbo, etc etc. wore out their welcome long ago. And yet he persists in making yet another version of the last movie he made. He never grows. He never changes.
I've reprogrammed by DVD zip control. I now have to fast, very fast, extra fast and Woody Allen movie. Next time I'll e prepared.
I gave 1 point for the shots of Rome. The rest is a dead loss.
