The film is worth it for the sequences when Owen/Woody travels back to 1920's Paris and meets many of the literary and artist characters of the time. Corey Stoll plays a fabulous Hemingway and Adrian Brody an idosyncratic and hystericlly funny Salvador Dali. There are others - Gertrude Stein, Picasso, Luis Bunuel, both of the Fitzgeralds, etc. All done beautifully entertaining. I'd say it was one of his best - at least of the Woody Allen that I like...Jeffhttp://www.lazarusdodge.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19630688.post-14795979250562344262013-11-28T19:26:19.324+00:002013-11-28T19:26:19.324+00:00I had the impression many of his recent (i.e. last...I had the impression many of his recent (i.e. last two decades) have been kind of light-hearted romantic comedies.

I've come to expect different things from Woody Allen - and have learned not to always expect Annie Hall type experiences. Wasn't impressed with this one - and I had been prepared by the reviews especially the comments as to the film's allusion to Ruth Madoff.<br />Last of his films I was impressed with was Midnight in Paris. Enough to see it several times. worth a watch - if you're so inclined... - J.Jeffhttp://www.lazarusdodge.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
