>>> "Woody should stick to comedy." <<<No offense to the dissenting reviews, but I respectfully disagree with these opinions. The casting was perfect and plausible; no one in our audience found unintentional amusement at Scarlett Johansson & Rhys-Myer's performances at our screening (as per sjb's comment below). If anything, the awkwardness between the two in light of the class and cultural distinctions at play adds more credibility to their performances.
Not only did my wife and I enjoy this film, but we completely agreed that this is a work of genuine art and it's on our list of DVDs to purchase when it's released for home video. I should probably mention that the audience we saw this film with applauded at the conclusion, which is a good indication that the film worked perfectly as Woody intended. Excellent performances and a wonderful ironic plot twist.
BTW, my wife doesn't usually like Woody Allen's films because the self-depricating ethnic humor becomes predictable after awhile and comes across as whiney to her, so this has caused her to rethink his talents.
Bottom line: Highly recommended! (**** 1/2 on a ***** star scale)
'Nuff said!
