... View MoreThis movie is not only boring but also has the icky, makes you wanna barf kinda HUGE age gap between the couple.. I think it's only fit for Woody Allen. I really find this so bald when you married your girlfriends adopted child and while everyone talks about you're a child molester.. Guy has the nerve.. Sorry but we are in 2010's and maybe your children is so brainwashed and to be able to get married to you with this age gap, no self assured woman has this kinda age gap in her romantic life.. How can the audience find them attractive together he is like her father?! The only reason I watched this because I wanted to watch Emma Stone but now I'm not sure that I wanna watch her anymore..
... View MoreLoved it brilliantly written by a genius Woody Allen one of my favorites. I loved the story it kept me captivated the story well done with a nice twist.Woody Allen at his best, and I loved Colin Firths character he does so well. It doesn't start off as a romance but ends up as one.The female lead played a brilliant part, and shamefully i do have to say i worked out the plot very quickly but it didn't spoil the film for me not at all.
... View MoreBy far the worst of Woody Allen's films I've seen. From about ten minutes in the rest of the story is entirely predictable and rather dull. Even my girlfriend who is a big fan of Allen's and chose this film fell asleep before the end. Not even the charms of Stone and Firth could save this film.It lights on the popular Allen themes of cynicism against a love of magic and boredom against the desire to be entertained. There is little of either magic or entertainment here and the characters are dull and one dimensional. I get the feeling that Allen cracked this out in one afternoon on the Cote D'Azur. For a man who makes so many films of course there are bound to be blips and this is his blippiest for me so far.
... View MoreMediocre.Written and directed by Woody Allen. A magician/illusionist, Stanley (played by Colin Firth), is invited by a fellow magician to travel to the South of France. The reason for the trip is to investigate, and hopefully expose as a fraud, a woman, Sophie (played by Emma Stone), who is apparently psychic. He is fervently of the belief that psychics, clairvoyants etc can't exist - he's a man of science and rationality. Once he meets her, however, things get complicated...Started well. There is the usual Woody Allen lightness, warmth and offbeat humour. However, it is not exactly laugh-a-minute stuff. There is also an air of mystery about the whole thing - how does she know so much about people, could she really be psychic?However, the movie pretty quickly runs out of steam. The mystery disappears quite quickly and there are dull periods. Moreover, the movie becomes a romantic drama, and an overly schmaltzy, contrived and implausible one too. The implausibility is heightened by the age gap between the two characters.Not anywhere near Woody Allen's best.
