Movie Reviews of The Love Letter
Movie Review: A So-So Film...
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a fan of Woody Allen movies, but this one disappointed me. The premise had real possibilities too, a temporarily blind man attempting to direct a movie, but he never made much of it. "Small Time Crooks", "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion", and "Manhattan Murder Mystery" are his funniest movies in my opinion.Movie Review: It's not a classic
Summary: 3 Stars
This film was pretty funny at times and Woody has some great dialogue in this movie and some great slapstick. The bad thing about this movie is that it seems a little dumbed down. It's better than most modern comedies. The thing that really sucked was the fact the Tiffani-amber Thiessen was in like 4 scenes and only spoke in one of them [...] She should have been more involved i think.Movie Review: Still a fan despite this film
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been enjoying Woody's films since I was about 14. This is the only film I can say falls a tad short of engaging in his extensive career as (arguably) the only living comic genius writer/director today. If you are a fan, take a look, you will still find one or two moments of hilarity. If its your first, start anywhere but here.Movie Review: Hey Woody: straighten up and fly right!
Summary: 2 Stars
I don't want to give up on Woody Allen yet. I know what he is capable of. But after watching Hollywood Ending, I was close to forgetting him entirely.
The plot is absurdly funny: Allen plays an old washed up film director who has one shot at a big-time comeback with his ex-wife serving as a professional laison. One problem that arrises is that Allen's character goes temporarily blind. For the rest of the movie, he, his manager, and his ex-wife need to hide the fact that he can't see while he's directing the film.
But as hilarious as the story presents itself, everything else works against it. The cast, dialogue, and especially the pacing completely kill any hopes of this being a good Allen film, to say less a great one. The momentum drags big time, and many of the gags loose whatever it was they had going for them despite the fact that Woody Allen has a hidden talent for physical acting (remember Sleeper?).
But like I said, I'm not ready to abandon Woody Allen just yet. He has a really good movie left in him, I know it. We just haven't seen it quite some time.
Movie Review: a pleasant surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
i was somewhat surprised by hollywood ending. it received so many bad reviews from critics that i went in not expecting much. but hollywood ending is easily one of woody's best film's in years, probably his best film since deconstructing harry.
many of woody's films are autobigraphical, and there's no question that woody is venting his frustrations at the movie industry and the american public when the #1 movie in america is alien vs. predator, and woody allen's movies barely break even in america. but he is still big in france, which he seems grateful for.
it's true that hollywood ending may not be hannah and her sisters or annie hall, but it's woody allen, and it's better than most of the crap out there today. thank fod for woody allen.
