A Lesser, But Still Enjoyable, Woody Allen Film
14 April 2010
A neurotic (Woody Allen) is left by his better half and begins to search for a replacement. The problem comes when he finds the girl he likes (Diane Keaton) happens to be his best friend's wife. Also, he is guided by the ghost of Humphrey Bogart.

Allen and Keaton are always a good pair. This film seemed somewhat less grand than their other work. Not only is the film shorter (and even more if you cut out the "Casablanca" part) but it rests on a very simple story: man falls for friend's girl. Common enough. It's also not directed by Allen, but as his films are more about the writing, this is no big deal.

My biggest complaint is that we needed more than we got of the insanely hot art critic chick talking about Jackson Pollack (I believe this to be Diana Davila). Her role in this film, and her other roles in general, are just too small and few.
