Interesting varying comments on Allen's new film. I haven't seen it yet myself, but as a woody Allen fan I hope to have seen all of his films sometime in the future. It was playing in a lot of theaters near me, but I wasn't interested, since his output after the millenium doesn't seem much to me. The last film by Woody I saw in a theater, "Melinda and Melinda", was actually the worst of about 20 films I've seen by him. But it was also the first of his films I gave a slightly negative rating. Usually I find his films entertaining in a good sense. The funny thing is that I think he made his best films in the late 90s, followed by the late 70s. I hope he will return to form sometime again, but I will have to wait with my own judgment until I see "Match Point" or more probably his next one.
