    Couldn't take my eyes and mind off this movie. My only criticisim is that the characters might have been five or ten years older and therefore their problems would have been more pressing. Thanks, Woody.

    Having read some of the critics reviews on this film I went into the cinema not expecting to be impressed, but I was. Not one but two interesting and thought provoking stories are told with gems of wit. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone, Woody Allen fan or not.

    With Melinda and Melinda he's (Allen) not just going through the motions. He's saying the game isn't over before you laugh till it hurts.
  2. Woody's back on solid ground with his first memorable pic of the new millennium.

    It's emotionally more alive than anything Allen has done since "Sweet and Lowdown," in 1999. I was absorbed in it, and I liked parts of it. And I wish to God it were better.
