Combustible Celluloid

A slightly unpleasant and shocking film.

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

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.

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

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.
