To Rome With Love

Woody Allen

This was embarrassing. The woodman's lost it completely. He had a couple of ideas here...not very clever or funny...and he milked them and milked them until I just wanted all four of his little scenarios to stop. Even his own performance was over-egged. The schtick that worked when he was thirty simply doesn't cut it anymore.

Whatever happened to the auteur who brought us Annie Hall, Sleeper, Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors? Even little gems like Sweet and Lowdown, Another Woman, Broadway Danny Rose, The Purple Rose of Cairo?

Gone to graveyards every one...oh when will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

Throw him on the back of the wagon, boys...he's done.
