MOVIE REVIEW: Allen? s? Dark stranger? fails in originality, but talented actor takes the slack

You will meet a tall dark stranger (R)
2 1/2 of 4 stars

In the last 44 years, Woody Allen 411/3 led features far more makes films for its dedicated fan base and at a time when Allen per year than any other modern day Filmemacher.Fliegend under the radar with extremely low budgets, or another has worked for every Boutique Studio in the business. These Studios know Allen's productions have limited appeal and often lose to keep money but because of the perceived prestige distribute factor.

While admirable to a degree that led so many movies in such a relatively short time frame more than a couple of poor quality with cliched concepts, some Allen's point detractors with regularity.Even for many of his fans a lot Allen's stories feel redundant and interchangeable.

This perspective changed a bunch in the excellent "match point," 2005 all of first film in set and filmed in England."You will meet a tall dark stranger" all's fourth UK-based effort and will post below by an overwhelming air of creative exhaustion gewogen.Es is not terrible, but it's yelling nothing about either.

The phrases make "careful what you want, because you it might only get" and "The grass is always greener" for perfect descriptions of Handlung.Jeder eight co leads suffers with imagined ADD and jump from the collective skins in pursuit of something you have not.In theory this is a great premise but also ADHD and Flip-flops Allen of the writer so often, his buried retrieves item under an avalanche of unneeded plot twist and tentativeness.

The most interesting character is Alfie (Anthony Hopkins), a senior in adult mid-life crisis, starts like a fiend, exercise, his wife Helena (Gemma Jones) landfill and soon will be entrusted "Actress" Charmaine (Lucy punch), a buxom woman of less than half of his age.

Helena trying to move on by the Council of a soothsayer (Pauline Collins) search, RSS feeds of their generic, fortune cookie level bite of wisdom.For Helena's daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) everything - no matter how questionable or on the level is fine, as long as it occupies the mother and the lull as you has their own set of problems.

Topping this list would Sally's ex-pat husband Roy (Josh Brolin) become a writer, who wrote but their several follow-ups have all floppte.Ein of heavy drinker work a pretty good novel a while ago as driver during the day, Roy has recently new neighbor slide (FREIDA Pinto), an engaging been distracted and dedicated musician he is determination woo and romance.

Sally is interested in starting an affair with your boss - the married Museum owner Greg (Antonio Banderas) .all is Greg only able to stay mum when it really counts and Sally lasts forever on pins and needles.

Before the first act ends, we can use the characters almost identical subjects nail down, so nothing throws in the mix as much of a surprise save for a final scenes of Roy's latest book comes out.

Thanks to the collective talent of the ensemble cast the film is better than it should be, which is a plus for the audience, screenplay hingewiesen.Wie did but also far in the glaring weakness of Allen's a decade ago, must all to slow down, take a breather and some original return; a film, the does not so flimsy and recycled feel.(Sony Classics)
