CGiii Comment
Woody Allen can be ingratiating and aggravating - in equal measures.
Here, he is at his aggravating most...watching Brannagh impersonate Allen is excruciating.
The whole thing is a cacophonous, self-indulgent parade of egos - Allen's towering way above those shown on screen.

The(ir) Blurb...
Open to temptation, the self-centred travel writer and would-be novelist, Lee Simon, divorces his English teacher wife, Robin, after sixteen years. Eager and anxious to rub shoulders with the rich and famous, Lee moves in trendy circles in high hopes of picking up supermodels; however, his love life--as well as his ambitious screenplay--remain a big mess. Then, unexpectedly, Robin has a chance encounter with the charismatic TV producer, Tony Gardella, who's the bee's knees, and summons up the courage to get her life together. Is this divine intervention? But, either way, will Lee ever grow up, and stop using women like stepping stones?
