.... and I would care because?

Rating: 2/10 (26 February 2013)

So, Woody Allen has written a film about sex, jealousy, volatile emotions, etc, etc - what a surprise! Okay, the performances in this film are creditable or better, particularly Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz who make it passably watchable. But when it's all said and done, this film is a bore. Basically, who cares? The sad thing is that I remember when Woody Allen could actually write. His was one of the most original and clever comedic minds in the second half of the twentieth century on either side of the Atlantic. Now he produces slightly left of centre versions of plots that would be at home on the Hallmark channel. May his genius rest in peace.
