Paul Nevai I don't really have a spoiler except that I point out that other reviews do even if they don't warn the reader. Maybe it isn't a spoiler after all.This movie is rated on IMDb about as well as many movies by Woody Allen that I personally found to be excellent. So it is not a mortal sin if I say that this movie is (almost) excellent in the sense that I truly enjoyed watching it despite (or maybe because of) some of the silly moments and somewhat weird subplots in it.I would give about 7 out of 10 to this move but I chose "10" in my formal rating in the hope that it will improve the current average rating of 6.2 that I found a little unfair.Here is an issue that I am very curious about. It appears (but I am not certain) that many of the Jewish characters in this movie weren't Jewish in real life. In American films, Jewish roles are usually (although not exclusively) played by Jews. I wonder if there is a sufficiently large pool of Jewish actors in France. France being such a secular republic, it is hard to know who is Jewish and who is not unless their names are "suspicious". If one looks up Wikipedia, the religion and ethnicity of American actors are quite frequently mentioned.

tao902 Alice is a thirty-something single woman living in Paris who has been obsessed with Woody Allen since she was a teenager. She lives her life through Woody Allen's words of wisdom.Alice's parents try to find her a suitable partner, which she possibly finds while working at the family pharmacy when a local man, Victor, fits an alarm system. The film ends with Woody Allen making an appearance where he assures Alice that Victor is a great guy who is ideal for her.Entertaining comedy. Occasionally loses its pace and in places the story could be a little tighter.

writers_reign This is getting weird. Yesterday I saw a movie in which Jacques Dutronc played classical piano and co-starred with Isabelle Huppert. The film was made in 1979 and pre-figured Merci, pour le chocolate twenty odd years later in which Dutronc is a classical pianist and plays opposite Huppert. Now, something very similar: Years and years ago Woody Allen wrote a play which was later adapted for the screen. It was called Play It Again, Sam, and the premise was that the lead character, Allen himself, held conversations with, and received advice from, Humphrey Bogart, his idol and, at the time the play was written and the film made, deader than Vaudeville. Now, it is Allen himself who enters into 'conversations' with Alice Taglioni who is his number one fan. Apart from that this is either a delightful rom-com or totally unrealistic rubbish depending on if you go to the movies to be entertained and transported for a couple of hours or to suffer unrealistic rubbish. Me? I loved it. Last time I saw Alice Taglioni she was a hard-nosed cop after a serial killer (The Prey) and before that she was the ditsy blonde mistress of Daniel Auteuil in a Francis Weber gem. This has lots of charm going for it and any film that features Ella singing Larry Hart's standout lyric to Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered over the credits with the verse yet cannot be bad and when a little later the lead actress confesses to 'adoring' Cole Porter what's not to like.

wilson trivino Alice (Alice Taglioni) is a bit of an old maid or at least those around her believe that. They are collectively working to bring the right man for a good introduction and are constantly working at facilitating romance. All the while, she has already has found her soul mate in Woody Allen whom she instates her hopes and dreams and Allen shares with her the ins and outs of life and discovering love. There are many funny Allen maxims but one that stands out is that the two most important decisions is life is one's work and sex. Full of twist of turns, you realize in Paris-Manhattan that you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince or it's OK if you never find 'the one'. Life has a way of working out. This is a cute romantic comedy and fun to watch. Saw this as part of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival
