: Celebrity

Author: Woody Allen

Director: Woody Allen

Amusing, lightweight comedy. It’s different, perhaps the most successful working of an episodic film I’ve seen. Nice use of real-life celebrities in various low-key roles. Kenneth Branagh does a good Woody Allen imitation, but I think I would have preferred Woody in the role — Branagh’s too good looking for his bad luck to be believable. Overall, not up Woody’s usual intellectual standard (it never really makes the statement I expect), but then that might make it more approachable for non-Woody fans.
