You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger

The new one from Woody Allen with a great cast but a lifeless script eventually lets it down for more than one or two viewings. But the cast! One of his best in years: Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, all do a great job with what they're given but it's just not enough. There are also some other nice performances from Freida Pinto who plays Dia, the girl that Roy (Brolin) is obsessed with and Lucy Punch who plays Charmaine, the girl that Alfie (Hopkins) ends up marrying after he divorces Helena (Gemma Jones) who is Sally's (Naomi Watts) mother. From an author who is having problems writing his next novel to a older woman who is listening a little too much to a fake fortune teller and a woman who's working for an art dealer who's she's fond of a little bit too much there are a lot of characters who really aren't that likeable in this film. All of these people are dealing with love lost, lust, greed, vanity amongst other things. I just wish it was a better film. A disappointment.
