While amusing and creative, I was annoyed at how Zelig, the man without an identity, is WOODY ALLEN – when he breaks out of his shell, he shares the same humor every other character he plays does, talks with the same quirks, mannerisms, and delivers his one liners in the way only woody allen can. I know, he’s the actor, but when a woody allen character is being set up as mysterious and enigmatic (nicknamed The Chameleon), the only way to make him uninteresting is to make him Alvy Singer. Despite that, it’s an entertaining mockumentary on identity, and what being human really is about.
