A good movie

Ever since I saw 'Manhattan Murder Mystery' in the movie theater back in the 90's (I must have been about 14 years old), I have been faithfully watching most of Woody Allen's movies (an impressive 28 features, more than any other director). I must admit, I'm not a big fan anymore like I was in those days. I mean, Allen remains a very interesting director but, nowadays, too many of his features are average and his tradition of making a movie every single year is just counterproductive in terms of quality. Still, from time to time, one of his most movies is heralded like this one for example. As usual, there was an impressive cast (Chiwetel Ejiofor, Will Ferrell, Jonny Lee Miller, Radha Mitchell, Amanda Peet , Chloë Sevigny, Josh Brolin, Steve Carell) and they all delivered some decent performances. As usual with Woody Allen, the dialogues were quite marvelous and rather hilarious and the story was entertaining and interesting enough but, honestly, it doesn't come in any way near his old masterpieces but it remained quite enjoyable. To conclude, I really liked it and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Woody Allen's work.
