Pretentious. Boring. Awful.

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2009)

Have you ever wondered how much narration you could possibly stuff into a movie? Have you ever wondered how many times the word "art" can be uttered in a film? Have you ever wanted to see the sexual musings of a dirty old man, who then proceeds to thumb his nose at monogamous relationships? THEN THIS IS THE FILM FOR YOU! For me, though, this movie was awful. The "art" talk and name-dropping was pretentious and non-stop. The approach to open relationships completely ignores the very thing that causes most of them to fail - jealousy. All of the characters are self-absorbed and reprehensible, except for the "straight" men Woody is trying to demonize.
This follows in the suit of the newer Woody Allen movies, becoming more insular, more perverted, more ego-maniacal.
