| I enjoyed this movie a lot, too, and it was a pleasure to see Woody and
Diane Keaton together again on screen. The chemistry is still there
between them. This is a very funny movie, very well acted by Woody,
Diane, Angelica Huston and Alan Alda. The way Woody does fumbling -
like trying to pick something up off a table, knocking something else
down, trying to set it up again, in the process knocking something else
down, etc - is priceless.

| Vintage Woody! Excellent fun and brilliant photography.
Thematically related to Hitchcock's Rear Window, but
funnier by far. Almost seems as if all of Woody's personal
problems have a positive effect on his creativity.

| I just saw this. Three of five, good photography,
decent acting from some--but the usual Woody-isms:
o Another movie about rich New Yorkers with
marital problems,
o Woody playing the same nervous character with
one-liners, even though this character doesn't
fit the role in the film,
o Lots of references to other films, even to
film clips,
o People acting more stupid than makes sense
(blinded by lust I can believe, blinded by
boredom is harder to take).
Possible spoiler follows:
I was expecting a twist at the end, which would show
that the four characters had made a big fuss over nothing.
But it didn't happen. I think the twist would have made
it a better movie.

| re .3, oh, I don't know. I've been blinded by both lust and boredom,
in the past. Sometimes the results are strangely similar.

| Saw it yesterday and for me it's one of the best Woddy Allen
movies I've seen (I have not seen all).
I like his really funny movies more than the tragic ones.
Diane Keaton was superb, too !
