simply well write and direct and act . woody best of the 2000 if not his best since the 80 . hugh jackman be the perfect pick for his roll . scarlett johansson banter with woody prove how well round an actress she have become . it refresh to not be in a romance on screen with the lead lady . he play the perfect bumbling magician . there have be a few review malign this movie . don not let them stop you from see the wonderfully do film . people in the crowd i saw this with be laugh so loud at some line i miss the next line . if you like woody allen film of the 70 and you will regret miss this one . i suggest you go to watch this film with an open mind and if you do and you might walk out smile .
