Woody Allen's latest showcase "Cafe Society" gets the Woody nostalgic fever again and travels back to Los Angeles in the 1930's. Jesse Eisenberg stars as Bobby, a young Jewish New Yorkan who moves to Los Angeles in hopes of finding success. Bobby reaches out to his estranged Hollywood mogul uncle named Phil Stern played by Steve Carell. Initially, Phil is very stern in helping Bobby get a foot in the door, but then he obliges to Bobby's request. There, Bobby falls for the beautiful Stern assistant Vonnie played by Kristen Stewart. Eventually, Bobby then gets caught up in "bizarre love triangle" that doesn't necessarily follow a "new order". Allen does a modest job in helming and scribing the picture, but this not in his elite of his film society bio. None of the performances were striking, but I must say that Stewart does the best work in her career here as Vonnie. I would get in the "Cafe Society" if I were you, but I would not trample anyone in doing so. **** Good
