    A movie about nothing, made for no one. How thrilling. Seriously, I watched the whole film waiting for something to happen, assuming that it would eventually find its point. As it turns out, it has none. Nothing happens, nothing means anything, and 2 hours of my life vanished wit...( read more)hout a trace as I sat in agony, refusing to give up on this film, only to find at the end that the filmmakers had already given up.

    Zip.ca rental of Don't Drink The Water. Part of my quest to see everything Woody Allen has ever made.

    Other then that, the movie was just bad. Woody Allen was "Woody Allen" to the extreme, which ended up being incredibly annoying. Julie Kavner was also annoying. Dom DeLuise was pointless and annoying. It wasn't shot particularly well. The plot was sort of a one-joke thing and would have been much better as a short. I also don't like how Fox just went to work with his father-in-law at the end.

    The Opinion: Not the worst Allen I've seen, but still not very good.
