Not unlike Neil Simon scrambling to be Henry Miller.

Woody, what happened? You stink on toast. Paul Chambers, CNN.

Apr 23, 2009
Allen has definitely made something special with this charming, light and warm romantic comedy.
Mar 25, 2009
Interesting characters interact in a complex tangle of interesting relationships.
Feb 12, 2009
This time, the words really should be believed: a massive return to form for Woody Allen. No lie. At this rate, we might even forgive him for Cassandra’s Dream.
Feb 12, 2009
For all its meditations on romantic disappointments, this is a slight, sunny film. Anyone in need of some superior escapism should see it straightaway.
Feb 12, 2009
Woody Allen's new film, announced as a romantic comedy, is far superior to the disastrous Match Point and Cassandra's Dream but much inferior to his best work.
Feb 12, 2009
I want to know how clumsily delivering punch lines in halting English while playing a shrieking harpy is in any way Oscar-worthy.
Feb 10, 2009
By the time Cruz appears, Vicky Cristina Barcelona has delivered on those initial good omens: it's Allen's best film in at least a decade.
Feb 10, 2009
Allen’s last couple of movies have been far from vintage offerings but Vicky Cristina Barcelona is pure pleasure and finds him back on form. It is smart, sunny, frisky and extremely funny.
Feb 10, 2009
Leave it to Woody Allen to muck up a threesome involving Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz.
Feb 9, 2009
Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which Allen wrote and directed but did not act in, is Woody at the top of his game.
Feb 6, 2009
Slight, disposable but entertaining. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is an awful lot better than anything in his thankfully short "British" period.
Feb 6, 2009
Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Woody Allen's latest comeback, is nothing like the return to form his apologists claim, but it's not terrible, which is a mercy after his grim trio of British projects.
Feb 6, 2009
No doubt about it, Allen’s latest throwaway rom-com is utterly silly, forgettable and predictable. It’s also his most purely entertaining film in years.
Feb 6, 2009
This is not as terrible as most of Allen's recent efforts, but it's thin to the point of scrawny, irksomely pseudo-intellectual and cringe-makingly creepy.
Feb 6, 2009
A sun-speckled slice of froth that’s very watchable, although it reveals little new about the mysteries of the human heart. It may be Allen’s best film in years – just don’t expect Annie Hall.
