You have a writer/director who never evolved after early success, and a comedian who has never played anyone except a version of himself. Take a pretty tepid sounding plot, an overall lackluster cast, and what your left with is disappointment. I'll wait until this hits HBO. Nice review, Sexy.

Most of it due to Allen's waining talent. No problems with Larry. Larry was pretty much Larry - I guess I don't expect much from him as an actor. What I found most tiresome & implausible is the whole Manhattan-like fantasy of an unlikeable old man being in the least interesting to a pretty, vapid young woman. Evan Rachel Wood may be a good actress - can't judge, as I've never seen her before - but I found her character annoying & cartoon-like. Jeez, Woody, give it a rest!
