Movie Review: DVD's ASAP
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 3 Stars
This film is about a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary at a Los Angeles shopping mall. The celebration is bittersweet because the husband(Woody Allen) admits his affair to his wife(Bette Midler). The wife remains angry for a while but eventually forgives her husband. Allen and Midler have done better films than this. Midler's much better films include DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS,RUTHLESS PEOPLE and BIG BUSINESS(all made by Buena Vista like this one). Allen's subsequent film MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY from 1993 was much better than this.Movie Review: No Exit- And You Don't Need Sartre To Tell You That
Summary: 1 Stars
Woody, Woody my funny, quirky, nerdy Woody Allen what the heck are you doing within one hundred miles of a shopping mall. In L.A. no less. Get back to New York on the fastest means of transportation possible even if you have to hitch hike. Bette Midler can do shopping malls, with Richard Drefuss maybe, but not with Woody. By the way if one really watches what goes on in the average shopping mall one would realize that there is no time for marriage counselling, serious dinner and dancing or movie theather sex or any other kind of self-help therapy as portayed here. Or any inclination to do such things. The deal is shop until you drop. Tunnel vision is the required virtue here. If you want to see Woody where he lives watch the films Manhattan or Annie Hall. If you want to watch Bette where she lives watch Down and Out in Beverly Hills or The Rose. Don't watch this one.Movie Review: Don't even bother
Summary: 1 Stars
I didn't realize that Woody Allen did not direct this film until after I watched it. This explains much of my confusion. Depressing, monotonous, painful to watch. This film does nothing but depress the viewer. The early 90's fashions and musical bits did not help make this a "timeless" film either. The annoying "carolers" throughout the film.....on and on. The one redeaming feature was the reference to "Salaam Bombay". My wife was ready to shut it off but I had to see how it ended......oh well, no surprise. We all have to live with "dukkha" but this just rubs it in your face. It's an irritating film.Movie Review: Tedium! Aisle 6!
Summary: 1 Stars
Three cheers and an unlimited mall shopping gift certificate to whomever can sit though this stale, bland, virtually humorless, endless piece of crap. Could the dialogue be any duller? Could the 2 stars be more mismatched? I live near one of the 2 malls used for filming and even that tiny tidbit couldn't get me through this tedious mess. Could either of them have had any idea as to what they were in for? I hope this is a product of bad editing and writing since I want to give Woody and Bette a fair shake for trying hard. Go to the mall on the busiest day of the year for more laughs and insight.
