It sounds strange to say, especially since I'm a Woody Allen fan, but I'm not exactly sure why I liked this film. The acting is a mixed bag at best. Allen retreads a lot of old material, sometimes painfully. The film can be absurdly condescending to 'average people'.
But somehow, between my eye rolls, I quite enjoyed myself. Especially looking back. While watching it I kept being hit by the faults and flaws. But the next morning I remembered it with a smile. Go figure. I'ill probably re-visit it one day and wonder what I was thinking. It got mostly mostly poor and fair reviews, but a friends sheepishly admitted they liked it too, so... I gingerly recommend it, with only the request you don't come hunt me down if you hate it.
