Woody Allen does it again.

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2009)

Writer-Director-Actor, Woody Allen always puts out interesting product. He built his good reputation on writing, directing and acting in is movies. QUite a feat.
In Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Allen writes and directs, but does not acting. Although I like a Woody Allen film to have Woody Allen in it, I must say that I found this movie entertaining. Not as much as the films with him in them, but I liked it just the same.
Allen captures the story about two girlfriends who become enamored with the same man, when his ex-wife is about to come back into his life, beautifully. He is able to extract the humor with the Woody Allen touch as well as present us with a deeper emotional drama that may resonate with many.
The actors are all very good and capture our interest. The direction works wonderfully as does the screenplay.
