There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

maybe, not the best. but nice. and good opportunity to meet a soft Allen, using a spring mixture of flavors and cinnamon and honey. great cat. and a story like a large puzzle. more important than compare it with the other pieces from the filmography it is to enjoy it. only enjoy. because, without be great, it is a honest film. and this is not a small virtue. it represents the occasion to see great actors making a fine job. and, not the last, an ironic view about the contemporary sins is always an useful choice. so, a Woody Allen. special. refreshing. and seductive but not using the classic recipes.

I wonder why Dia decides to go with Roy to start with as there is no apparent appeal in him. It's not the actors' mistakes. They follow a screenplay. For the rest, well the story flows very well and it is also well performed. Probably life is like this for many who are..without other values. And of course, Woody Allen keep saying that marriage is just a joke out there. Nevertheless, I quite like this movie because it is a story well narrated and filmed. No boring moments and also a touch with surprises. The movie is entertaining and quite light, so to say. But only apparently. In my opinion, the actors are all good although they aren't always given the chance to develop their own character in a more convincing way especially for Dia, Cristal and the writer in coma

This film had promise. It has the core of a fine cast -- Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Gemma Jones, and Naomi Watts. But it sort of meanders along highlighting here and there each member of the ensemble cast, and at the end leaves us up in the air with a conclusion for only one of the cast members (Gemma Jones). Everyone else just drifts off into the sunset and we really don't know how things conclude with them. Hiss, hiss, and boo to Woody Allen. The master -- if he ever really was one -- has lost his magic.At first Gemma Jones' character is too annoying, but ultimately she becomes the one gem of the film. Why exactly would Banderas accept his small role in this film. At least Brolin has some decent screen time, even if you won' like his character much. And Anthony Hopkins...well, not his finest work. As to 2 other members of the cast -- Freida Pinto and Lucy Punch -- no thank you...no desire to see them in another film.Pass this one by.

Naomi Watts, Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins are extremely good actors can easily proved by this movie........, " as a matter of fact, some other movies too ", but that is not the actual point.A good Woody Allen movie gets you in the first 15 minutes. This one does not. Maybe he was Moody, rather than Woody when doing this. This one never gets you as strongly as some of his other counterparts.The underlying wit was missing, if not totally. The best wit you get here is Lucy Punch. Rolling eyes. Punch's character was enough for that willy wit otherwise lacking in this movie which we were expecting, to lay in Alfie. The overall reason for 6.One or two life's sad but underlying parts were almost exploited... left us wanting.Freida's character Dia was badly cast. Points lost there. Either her accent should have been original or made-up. Wonder how Woody missed here. She looked not at all what slumdog promised, either looks wise, neither acts wise.The mid section of the movie worked only because of a very good reason. I will share that reason at the end of this review. Some things just cropped out without a reason which never happens in an Allen film. I am talking about the Kher part....In the entire movie Roy was something to look out for. Played almost, remember, only almost, perfectly --- The end commentary said it best, it signifies nothing, and the tale must end.The reason why all of you must watch this film is because of Watts. I wish i can see her in more happy movies. 6 as I said earlier.
