Not bad, but not so good either

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2009)

I usually don't get Woody Allen movie. I think he is just a neurotic crazy director/writer, and I can picture him in real life is not much different from his character in "Annie Hall". I watch "Manhattan", "Hannah and her sister" a really long time ago, and if I didn't remember wrong, I was bored with the movie.
The beautiful scene in Spain just make this movie worth watching. Just like some Italian think of "Under the Tuscan Sun" is so not realistic and portray nowadays Italy like 20 years ago. But the beautiful scene of Tuscany, Italy still make me love that movie.
Anyway the Spanish artist keep yelling: "Speak English in this house" is not so realistic, yeah...cause most European use English in their home? And it very honestly portray the movie in the sense that yeah... This movie is from an American movie maker point of view making a film in an south European cities as a background
But I come to sense that indeed there is still a lot of Woody Allen fan out there, and indeed he has this sarcastic sense of humor toward life. The over stereotype just is so ridiculous, it's actually funny. Maybe that's Woody Allen dark humor?
And I was wondering why is Scarlett Johansson keep accepting the similar kind of character like in "Match Point", "Girl with a pearl earring", "The other Boleyn Girl" Ehm....I would like to see her in a more different character.
Over all, it's a fun movie to watch, not too boring, not too great
