my least fav woody picture


it was an interesting concept, but the mockumentary theme lost its appeal to me quickly. the acting was ok, and the writing was pretty good. but overall, this is my least favorite woody allen film. am the only one who feels this way?

I'm not going to say it was my least fav Woody Allen film, as there are several worse movies of his in the 90s. The idea was very ingenious and the film was well made. It was interesting but it never quite took off. It seemed a little flat to me... not very funny. This concept could have worked as a short film, but instead it just seemed to drag on.

I dunno...what about Curse of the Jade Scorpion?

I haven't seen all of Allen's films but it is distinctly average.

Some of his recent stuff is much worse!
