In this nasty, verbose comedy, Woody Allen the director has cast Woody Allen the actor as a foul-mouthed, self-absorbed, sex-obsessed writer.

Too bad it is difficult to really care about what is going on since such a thoroughly unpleasant character is at the center.

By turns clever, devestating, bitter and delightful, this challenging piece of work is easily one of Allen's most mature efforts to date.

Woody Allen não é só um cineasta de extrema cultura e de um timing cômico irrepreensível. Ele é, antes de tudo, um dos mais talentosos roteiristas que o Cinema já produziu.

Certainly a mark above Allen's most recent works--it's refreshing to see an artist spreading his wings this wide.

Witnessing Elisabeth Shue kissing Woody Allen full on the mouth in excruciating close-up is about as hard to watch as the wood-chipping scene in Fargo.

The dialogue lacks snap, and Allen-the-actor's comic timing seems a beat off.

The lightweight story eventually runs out of gas and stops, but it provides little to take away other than some fleeting humor.

The film is worth seeing only for Woody's acerbic one-liners.
