12.08.05Pay-Per-View I'd heard this was terrible. Will Ferrell certainly playes Woody Allen, which doesn't really work... and there is definitely something off with the acting and the dialogue, but it's kind of a cool meditation on how very minimal changes can change a tragic story comic or vicey versy. Reminded me somewhat of Sliding Doors... and of course Rashomon which everyone everywhere has to bring up whenever anything's told or shown more than once in a movie. Still something just off about this though... like I don't know if the stories within the story were supposed to be acted... unwell, or what... but some scenes are just horribly "theatrical" and stilted. Maybe new yorkers talk like that... I dunno. I still think that Woody Allen is just getting too old... made too many movies... lost his spunk. There's always his next one though.
