It?s got a great cast but no one delivers a fantastic performance or seem to be able to gel together on screen. A film about big egos tarnished by big egos!
I expected great things from the stellar cast. But it was too dark. I became bored. And I could not get past Branagh's bad Woody Allen imitation!
You need to be a Woody Allen fan to appreciate this one. If you arent, you most likely will find this dull. To those who like Woody Allen, this is good. Its quite funny and pretty dark--possibly owing to the black and white photography. It ends when it should. Some of the sequenc...( read more)
