utterly pretentious nonsense . the material be dull and dull and dull and and most of the cast wouldn not even have make understudy in allen earlier film . and to have to listen to the unfunny will ferrell do his woody allen imitation make me loathe the second rate ( though mysteriously popular ) ferrell even more . it appear that the morose 70 year old allen should have knock off work when the clock rang in a new century . i truly try to get involve in the film and but it be just impossible while my snyapses couldn not fire that slowly . so and rather than doze off and kill the afternoon sleeping in an upright position i get up and leave my wife and daughter in the theater and and go out to the car where i have a really good book to re read ( george bailey great tome of 30 year ago and german . ) the day turn out pretty well after all and no thanks to woody .
