Woody Allen has a tendency to be very inconsistent with his films, but this one was neither amazing nor terrible, it was just ok.

The story and idea for the film are great, and were not necessarily poorly executed, they were just not made to be all that interesting. i blame this mostly on the casting. Jeff Daniels was neither likable nor detestable, he was just plain. the same can be said for Mia Farrow, although she was involved in a unhealthy marriage, i rarely felt any remorse for her beyond face value emotions. this is not to say the acting was bad, it just did not do the film any justice.

again, this is what you will get from woody every once in a while; a shorter film that neither bores nor fully engages you. although it may appear that i am tearing this film apart, i still recommend it!
