Title: Flat and forgettable
Product review: If you're looking for dynamite Woody Allen films, this isn't it. I actually spent a good portion of the movie hitting the fast forward button looking for substance, but was severely disappointed.The main characters are flat, stereotypical, and lack development throughout the entire film. The dialog is stale and there's virtually no chemistry between Johansson and Jackman. Allen tries to take a comedic lead in this, and while his scenes with Johansson are palatable, any of the scenes where he "takes the stage" are cringe-worthy.I personally had such high hopes for this film, and think it's about time that Hollywood stopped remaking classics that have nothing wrong with them, and instead re-package films like this that could be memorable and fall completely short. Johansson and Jackmen are great actors and I felt that with some better material that they could've at least made this something worth watching more than once on a dare.
