It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

That's what it says on the DVD. But this is a nasty movie that laughs at people who make horrible choices. The laughter is more like a giggle from Woody Allen. The fates that befall all these characters can happen, but the execution is cruel--especially regarding the Anthony Hopkins character. The ditsy airhead who is also selfish winds up the happiest---the irony is of course deliberate, and clever, but it looks like Allen just wanted to be mean to people in this movie.

Yes, that's it. Is it Allen? Put your hands on it!! I'm not saying I love all his films - and I have seen more than twenty - but I prefer to try, and I hardly ever feel down, when I learn the film I'm about to see is directed by this, that is of of the best moviemakers of all times. "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" is a sweet piece of art for, as I see it, tells a nice story in a simple - yet beautiful - way. A typical Allen thing.And the cast? Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts, Gemma Jones, Antônio Banderas, Josh Brolin .... Don't miss it!

One of Woody Allen's worst movies. Not THE worst, that honour goes to To Rome With Love, but this comes close. At least the stories are coherent, but they're not at all good. There is hardly a likable character in the entire movie. Everyone, in their own way, is plain loathsome. Infidelity (especially), deceit, naivety and insanity abound. Naomi Watts' character might be the only character worth supporting, and even she's not perfect.Many of the relationships don't even make sense, they're just there for relationship sake, or infidelity sake.About the only great moment was Josh Brolin's character's comeuppance. Performances are fine, it is the characters that are irritating, and very much so.

Many Fans of the Prolific and Brilliant Writer/Director may use that Line ('You have sipped us dry.") from His late Movie to poke Him in the eye for being redundant or in danger of losing His Flare and Energy with the onset of Old Age.There could be some Truth to that as witnessed by this Film, but also could be a knee-jerk reaction of disappointment because He so often attains Greatness. This one is droll and the Humor is sardonic and His Sharp Insights takes a backseat to Irony and Soap Opera conventions.It does have a Vision from an aging Artist that is reflecting on the New Millennium and His place at the table of Social Criticism and Philosophical musings. After all, here we have a Fortune Teller replacing Psychiatry to find Meaning to all the Madness, Meditation vs Medication. Another central Character is a Degreed Medical Doctor who sees his Destiny as, of all things, a Writer of Novels. Again, Celebrity vs Healer. Welcome to the 2000's.This is somewhat intriguing and with such an accomplished Cast it is forever Watchable, but one keeps flashing Nostalgic about the Good Ol Days when Woody Allen's Curveball had its spin and He hadn't lost a step on His way to the Hoop.
