Hilarious social commentary that still rings true today. I liked Branagh's Allen impression, simply because it was SO spot on. If it wasn't exact it would have been annoying. I though Leonardo DiCaprio's scene was the best part of the film.

Melaine Griffith was insufferable - I almost turned off after the first scene. It does get a bit better though.

Charlize Theron with short hair = perfect. And i'll have to agree with the comments below, Branagh was doing an Allen impression, and that kinda annoyed me.

At first I wasn't sure what to make of this film. The narrative is a bit sloppy and so many of the situations quite unrealistic, but in rumination since I found a bit of an interesting link with La Dolce Vita and found that opened up my understanding of it more. My feelings of anger towards the characters choices and actions was where the social criticism lies, and the above still captures the underlying cry.

Branagh is definitely no Allen, but thats okay. It's a fine movie that's underrated and unfairly shunned.

Was alright, at points I felt as though Branagh was doing an Allen impersonation.

This is actually incredibly underrated. Woody should resurrect Judy Davis as one of his muses and give Scarlett the boot.

I think this one gets better with time... the last shot is classic. Beautiful screenplay. Early on, it seemed a little pretentious to have Branaugh playing Woody Allen, but I dunno... the story took over, and I think it was just beautifully executed. The closing shot is unforgettable.

Branagh acts eerily too much like Woody here. I think it's a good thing. It's more than likely he studied the director prior to the role... Leo's character's fun. If rumors serve any truth, him and the "Pussy Posse" weren't too unlike the reckless assemble in the film. Judy Davis does the best job acting wise, but her character is kind of annoying. All in all, a mediocre Woody film, but worth a watch.
