  Middling Woody, a cast of talented actors portray a bunch of not terribly interesting or for that matter likable people.

  Despite a few funny moments, its still kind of boring. One of Allen's lesser efforts.

  Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger falls into the passable, discernibly Woody-like, but certainly not one of the best, Woody Allen films. It follows two married couples, and the people within the relationships who decide, to their own detriment, that the grass is always greener on the other side. Like all Woody Allen comedies, it has its moments, with some strong situational and sarcastic humor, with the typical Allen flair for smart dialogue. However, it's occasionally tedious in what it has to say, often re-using the same joke, and never quite delivering anything especially insightful or unique. The film is acted well, with a strong cast of English and American actors. The chemistry on screen is noticeable, but the material just doesn't offer much for them to really elevate the film. It's message is too familiar for Woody, and the delivery is not particularly poignant or biting, like some of his best work. Ultimately, it's still smarter than the vast majority of romantic comedies out there, but isn't one of his best pieces. 3/5 Stars

  I'm not sure why this film doesn't get better ratings, but my hunch is that it's because, compared to other Woody Allen everyone's-lusting-after-everyone-else ensemble films, this one's rather humourless. I thought that Brolin and Watts played a good exasperated couple, and that Lucy Punch was incredible as the mother-in-law that pushes every button Brolin's character has. Plus, as usual for Allen, there's a fascination with death on display, and the psychics and seances lighten the rest of the story's mood, which is a sombre one given that it's basically about writer's block and the dissolution of what should be a promising marriage. I really got into the characters, though - despite how despicable the writer Brolin played was - and I thought the story was captivating, if a little twee as it approached the end. A good film, or maybe, as a writer myself, one I'd have liked no matter what. In any case, I guarantee that it's not as bad as you've heard.
