Title: Sad and Open Ended
Product review: If you're looking for another Midnight in Paris, don't look here. Although billed as a comedy I would say this is more of a drama somewhat akin to the very serious movies Allan produced in the 1980s. It features a elderly housewife whose husband leaves her for a younger woman (a prostitute in fact) unable to cope with her divorce and her dysfunctional family. Allan does not bother to try to tie up loose ends as the film concludes leaving you scratching your head and asking what the point really was. To go into too much detail would provide too many spoilers, and even a stellar cast can't rescue this melancholy offering. If you like Allan's more dramatic and sad titles, you would probably like this--I was looking for a light movie to watch with my friends on New Years Eve and this doesn't suit the bill.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
