Gag! Not another old guy, young girl movie. If you haven’t noticed, every author over 50 has written a book about some beautiful young girl being in love with them. ALERT TO MEN OVER 50!!! No, we do not want to be with you. Yuch! Get over it, ok?
Rating: 1 / 5
This is a shockingly inept movie with few redeeming features. Larry David in particular can’t act – he can only be himself and i suppose some people must find his idiosyncrasies likeable. The film (more of a TV show, actually) was shot on the cheap with the minimum effort. Weak, cheesy script. The assumption seems to be that jokes that (might) work in a Brooklyn shtetl will universally apply. I don;t think so. There is no fun in the film, no depth, little actual humor – just a leering David. I liked the Barcelona film. But this? Awful.

I mean those who “criticize”! Read your own reviews before pressing Submit button. Be humble! All your talk is merely stroking your ego and a parade of mediocrity which would not even stain the work of art. I like Woody Allen’s persona (with all his shortcomings) as well as most of his creations and that is why I continue watching his movies. And none of your highbrow blabbering would sway devotee like me. Those who do not hold sincere interest and empathy in the art of an artist should not even bother to buy a ticket; you have other genres made for you. You are making fools of yourselves! What are your reference points – you own life with your experiences, your reading and thinking, your faith or lack of such, your age and wisdom? Don’t you think that to be credible you should be “something”, produce something, relate some positive message no matter the subject, have a reputation?. . All of you waist reader’s time regurgitating the plot while missing plethora of details which not only give clues to each situation in the movie but are in essence the “colors on the canvas” which more tolerant and inquisitive people come to see. Behind the grotesque boldness there is gentleness and vibrant complexity. Eat your own diet and do not push it on others. Shalom.

This is the last time I fork out for a Woody Allen movie without knowing anything about the movie first. I’m afraid his credit no longer runs. I have never panned a Woody film before, but this takes the can. Vicky Christina Barcelona was bad enough. Time to hang up the camera and go fishing, Mr. Konigsberg.
This film was buttock clenchingly awful, from the wooden masturbatory fantasy of a plot to the painful effort of the lead to be Woody Allen. I felt sorry for the actors, especially Evan Rachel Wood. Annie Hall it wasn’t.

Loved this movie. Saw it twice. Think it might be Woody Allen’s best. KH
