The plot of this movie is totally absurd and overblown, like an idea that Woody had while sitting on the toilet. Basically a 2 minute joke-of-a-plot expanded to a 90 minute movie. Johnathan Rhys Meyers gives the worst performance since Mariah Carey in Glitter,and though Woody Allen is known for coaxing great performances out of his actors, Scarlett Johannsen has never been worse. There can be no other explanation. There's no way that the man who gave us "Annie Hall" and "Bananas" could have come up with this misfire. The critical raves are beyond me. This one must have been written and directed by Soon Yi, that's the only explanation that I can come up with for this boring piece of garbage.
