Did you just punk us? This movie is bad Woody Allen shit. You just have a mancrush on Javier Bardem. Which is fine, but fuck, man, just fuck.

The only reason I would bother watching it is to see Rebecca Hall, so please: do tell all.  I think she's fine as hell.

I saw this some time ago and  I liked it. The movie just confirms that women are crazy and can't settle for anything  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Penélope Cruz is freakin' hot in this. She just keeps getting better with age and totally stole the show for me. I'm still not convinced about Scarlett's acting ability. Anyway, one of the better Woody movies (as he doesn't act in it).

She looks like a low-rent Kate Beckinsdale in this.

However, Scarlett goes damn near topless and makes out with Penelope Cruz. Between that and Javier Bardem, there's no mystery as to why Ookii liked it. Unfortunately, it was a piece of shit.

No doubt. At the same time, I have no reason to watch a movie to be reaffirmed of such things, it just seems like wasted effort.

I watched Babylon A.D. tonight and enjoyed it more than this. And that's saying a lot, as it was also a real piece of shit. At least Vin Diesel didn't sound like such an artsy fuckhead. Javier Bardem should stick to killing for pleasure and profit.

You have no soul schild so you can't watch romantic movies like this.  It has an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes and has a 7.7 on IMDB, the writing is fantastic and Penelope Cruz is awesome in it (as well as Bardem).

The fucking narrator ruined the movie. An 82 isn't That Good. And this wasn't a romance it was an artsy slice of life movie. Romance movies tend not to take an "everything falls apart" angle. Woody Allen needs to go the fuck away.

I wouldn't quite be that harsh about Woody Allen.  Curse of the Jade Scorpion was hilarious.

Touche.

But that really doesn't forgive his constant need to keep a video diary of everything neurotic and insecure that his mind's eye can dream up.

True.  It is tiring for him to keep falling on the same shtick that he has been using since he started.  More movies like Sweet and Lowdown, please.
