Title: Lightweight Allen, but still worth seeing
Review: Light and insubstantial - the thinnest movie Allen made since `Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy', but still breezy and fun entertainment, and still manages to have a deeper emotional resonance about working through mid-life crises and relationships. The camerawork is a mix. The first half is annoyingly handheld much of the time, for no particularly good reason, but the second half has some very nice lighting, and a fun `Lady From Shanghi' homage at the climax. A flawed film, that one can pick at if you're in a cranky mood, but also one with wit and panache that you can enjoy if you let go of your own inner film critic and just watch a master humorist simply tell a good yarn.
