Interesting vintage style Woody Allen film, rather typical in his unique style. Very entertaining and well written. I do feel the cast lacked spark, with the exception of Patricia Clarkson. Evan Rachel Wood’s character needed and actress with more depth, I couldn’t help but think how incredible Amy Adamas would have been.

I love all of Larry Davids stuff hands down and this is no exception. However, despite being written and directed by Woody Allen it feels like its Larry Davids own project. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Curb your Enthusiasm, Annie Hall, Seinfeld, and dry witty comedies.

Then you will enjoy this movie. It begins a little wierd in an off-the-cuff type of way. However, the movie has some very hilarious moments and "ah-ha" moments in regards to freedom and at times religion and love. The movie is a bit cliche but hey what isn't nowadays?

This film marks the return of Woody Allen's vintage style of combining sarcastic humor with deep philosophical and existential themes. The film is sarcastically smart and humorous. Larry David is the perfect actor to play this role and delivers on every note of realism. The supporting cast are also good and believable. Overall, this film hits a good note for Woody Allen fans, as well as deliver an entertaining film for Larry David fans.

This movie was absolutely offensive. From excessive use of the Lord's name in vain to the flat out slap in the face to all those who hold faithful to the true doctrine of Christ. This movie seems to be for the only purpose to deface Christianity, making light of the our Saviors name, and His teachings of morality, and an almighty Creator. Totally disappointing!!! How sad that so many today fall into this way of thinking and live their lives in complete rebellion against God and Christ for the sake of life is short, then you die so do "Whatever Works"...
