The Worst Film Ever

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Captivating movie !

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I really liked this film! They do not make musicals any more in those old fashion ways any more. And what a cast of actors! All of them were fantastic, but somehow Alan Alda and Woody Alen stick out! How could they not make people like Alan Alda more often? I mean the little greys. They clone, right? Perfect actors like Alan Alda could not be conceived in the normal way. I figure he is cloned ;) Dialogues are fantastic so are the music pieces. All in all if you want to put a smile on your face, and take a trip in a world where most of people never venture, make sure you see this film.

Now I did like the old school style direction when it came to this musical. And the musical numbers is good and even cute in some cases. But despite how it tries to go in that sweet and meaningful direction of it all, it just didn't work all together. This has multiple different subplots going but it just wasn't all that effective. Even if it does kinda tie together in the end for the most part. With Woody Allen's character story as the primary. Although I didn't really watch this for Woody Allen but for Edward Norton, who is almost impossible to dislike. This just wasn't all that absorbing despite it trying to be sweet and charming, I just didn't fall for it. The plot is about characters trying to find there path, which revolves around love, sex, fantasies, politics, enjoying life, Christian and atheist views. It even tries to be witty and edgy but wasn't feeling it. Like I said it does tie together in the end but not all that well. Fans of Woody Allen might like this film, it does have a lot of his trademarks in this. Woody Allen put a lot of ideas into this movie, but everything just seemed so rushed and poorly developed. It seem to lack heart and goes more towards opinionated life views, which isn't even all that deep. Edward Norton is always cool though. And the musical number and choreography is good but also forgettable. This movie is about a hour and a half long but felt longer. It's disappointing since this has a good cast.3.6/10

Ed Norton, Barrymore, Roberts, Hawn, Alda, Portman... what's not to love? Well the boring, plodding, banal and mind numbingly worked story line that is as intricate as a cereal box. How can anyone like this? Did they get awards because of the cast? This proves to me that pretentious nits make a good market for an inane movie a college student could have composed. It reminds me of those self-indulgent "I am melancholy pay attention to my deep thoughts" of the 70s genre, which is how old you have to be to find this mildly entertaining. Woody Allen should just give it up. Then again, people will pretend he has talent because they are suppose to. Kind of like people paid a zillion dollars a ticket to see washed up Streisand in concert.

I'm not a fan of Woody. Among 325 movies i watched so far, only one comes from him and it was terribly dull. Beyond, i don't like the buzz heard each year about his new movie because he seems to be a industrial brand. However, Stephen King who faces the same critic has a good answer : if they can release so much, it's because they work the same. Nevertheless, i couldn't stand also that his movies star the most talked actress of the moment. But there, he has himself the perfect answer: he paid them. Finally, I picked up this movie because Natalie plays in it, and i must say this was an excellent moment.The movie is split between three romantic cities (New York, Paris and Venise) and the choice for a daily diary is always interesting. Woody is really funny here as an anguished but sweet father (i was one day compared to him for that). His romance with Julia is depicted with truth. Natalie and her big family are attaching. As the movie is a musical, I suppose i have to speak my opinion about it. For me, the songs and dance suck because they are not classic tunes (at last for me)and they just stop the story. However, the ballet at the Seine banks is poetic.In conclusion, if this wealthy family is faraway of most people life, they form a united one and they bring us an happy moment.
