my wife and i both thought this film a water down and make for tv ( bbc ) version of manhattan murder mystery . which be itself good and but not great . the story have little inter character tension or chemistry and and not much of a plot . woody allen character just sort of wanders around run off at the mouth and and hugh jackman and scarlett johannsson do not have a lot more to do . it pretty disappointing and i must say . ian mcshane role be just an expand cameo appearance . the first thing that occur to me be i wonder how much the bbc have to pay woody allen to dislodge him from manhatttan . he must have need the money and and they must have need his appeal to expand their audience beyond the youth market drawn to the two star . i be give this movie 4 star instead of 3 because it be unbothersome background noise . if you ever want something to have on while youre knitting or sort your stamp collection and this will do the job . i wouldn not pay to rent it again .
