I was too harsh on this film. My C+ in UGO was wrong.
Come to it thinking it is a play. Then all the awkward staging is forgiven. (Also accept that Allen still thinks it is 1959 and women really behave this way.)
Allen must do what Philip Roth has done – set all his newer work in the past. Audiences will be much more forgiving to your cluelessness this way.
Still – there are yuks a’plenty in this movie. Ann liked it, too.
