Damn, what a great review! Don't know how I missed this when it was initially posted. I'm a huge Allen fan, and I've been wondering about this one. More'n likely I'll still see it -- silly & pointless can sometimes be a nice break -- and at least now I know what to expect.

Ah yes, we all like his earlier funny films.

Austin definitely loves us some Diane Keaton -- heck, we named a major street after her . . .

bananas was kina a young woody just having fun, being silly and finding his legs. maybe the first two can be said baout htis, but it is defintely meant to have more of a story than bananas. the characters here do not make you feel anything about them or really believe them. it is just kinda hackneyed, neither here nor there

So would you say this is for the "Bananas" fans and "Hall" Haters? Or is more of his new breed of movies like "Match Point"
