  Mia Farrow is an upper crust Manhattan socialite fully in the material world of shopping, parties and gossip, until persistent back pain leads her to a mysterious Chinese doctor ... flights of fancy lighten this fall down the rabbit hole but the stop, despite typically good Allen ensemble work, is ordinary enough.

  Much like Burn After Reading felt like the Coens trying too hard to make a "Coen" film, Alice, a loose reimagining of Juliet of the Spirits, feels like Woody desperately trying to make a "Woody Allen" film. To no avail.

  Ghosts, hallucinations, love potions, invisibility and penguins. An outlandish but likable exposé on the true meaning of happiness. (Directed by Woody Allen)

  This film very much has the Woody Allen stamp on it and you?d be able to tell it was a Woody Allen film even if you did not know. It?s a quirky film, where the imagination is brought to life helped along with a few magical herbs and where an escalation of events help to guide the main character toward her niche in life. An enjoyable performance from Mia Farrow, who in parts seem to turn into Woody Allen with the overtalking nervous episodes.

  I love Mia Farrow's subtle seductress, but the plot is a bit thin.

  Although the originality was certainly not lacking and it pays homage to eclectic sources like Charles Dickens and Alice in Wonderland all at once, this is one of the few Woody Allen movies I've found to be draggy and not fully developed. It IS one of the longer ones, and after the first half and she's had her affair and everything it just sort of meanders along. Also, the physical comedy in this movie just doesn't work. Mia Farrow isn't a naturally funny actress and she can't do the awkward-rush-get-caught-fall thing that Allen has perfected to save her life.

  I thought this movie was very entertaining mainly because Mia does an amazing Woody Allen as a women impression really well. The thing that got to me the most was the cinematography which ranks up there with the best of Woody's films. I also like Joe Mantagna a lot in the film… More
  I thought this movie was very entertaining mainly because Mia does an amazing Woody Allen as a women impression really well. The thing that got to me the most was the cinematography which ranks up there with the best of Woody's films. I also like Joe Mantagna a lot in the film and thought he gave a cool performance.

  What a strange movie. For the most part, I didn't like it. I decided Mia Farrow is best when she doesn't have to carry an entire movie on her shoulders. It's dull at points, but the ending is surprisingly thouching. I only got a couple chuckles in.

  Some scenes were pretentious, others scenes felt like sitting out in the park on a Sunday afternoon. "Alice" isn't a bad film but by the time you are done watching the movie, you'll easily have forgotten it. I was getting the feeling Allen dedicated this movie to… More
  Some scenes were pretentious, others scenes felt like sitting out in the park on a Sunday afternoon. "Alice" isn't a bad film but by the time you are done watching the movie, you'll easily have forgotten it. I was getting the feeling Allen dedicated this movie to Mia Farrow.

  A cute little story with a fun trippy edge.

• Patrick D

  
  One of the best ways to watch a romantic comedy is to have it made by Woody Allen. Then put in some mysticism and supernatural elements and you really can't help but fucking love the film.
