Reviews here tend to compare this film with earlier Woody Allen films. Why? Why not compare with contemporary romcoms and superhero comicbooks come to life? Why compare at all? This film is actually pretty good. It's a snapshot of 2010 for the future to marvel over. I know people like these. I found myself rooting for the characters then getting annoyed with them and their choices. It misfits together brilliantly, lives touching lives, and it describes what motivates people and what gives meaning to our lives today. Not a lot of English Language movies go into such territory. See it with friends; this film makes for conversations afterwards. Enjoy; it's good work, beautifully lit, the sound is recorded fabulously (so unusual these days), the acting is bang on, the directing precise. It's got some laughs and a lot of awkward social situations to cringe over.
