    Preposterous start that steers into realms of sitcom reality as the movie progresses. The cast is winsome although without any deep believability or motivational foundation. It is too long at the start and too short at the end. Yet, it has something that connects in an over-the-top way. Not for everyone. Maybe for lonely hearts looking for answers without answers.

    A wanna-be Woody Allen type movie, but maybe only Woody Allen, can do "Woody Allen" well. Just not funny, witty clever, or insightful enough to make it worthwhile. And neither of the leads are all that good. The male lead in particular, seems miscast.

    Terrific cast and some winning performances, but this movie fails to entertain because of sometimes-inept dialog and a confused plot that strains credulity way past the breaking point and finally lurches to a completely unconvincing and unsatisfying halt.

    Starts off deliriously, is derailed into reality, and finally settles into something in between.

    The overall effect is that of an aging vaudevillian making a good-hearted but embarrassing attempt to entertain us with stock characters and stock jokes and stock shtick.
  3. To do rough justice to this special treat in not much space, let me first stipulate that it evokes any number of Woody Allen films, thanks to its therapy-centric characters and its Upper West Side milieu.
