Great film about a sexually intertwined couple who's lives are turned upside down through prostitution, love, a penchant for the unknown and a desire for something different.
I was supremely disappointing that the director basically copied everything Woody Allen has built his career on. Even the soundtrack was straight out of his play book. It seems that Wilson has gravitated towards films that Allen has or would have directed in the past only he's a much less believable character than the one's cast in Allen's former films; I suppose that's what makes Wilson even more believable though; the fact that an everyday man/woman can fall in and out of love in all it's varying forms.
The cast was seller, however the way in which their lives intertwine is definitely not something new, nor for that matter is the fact that connection/desire/love can be found in numerous ways with numerous people. But, I was left feeling that the director was implying that love is merely the desire for connection to something or someone new. It's classic Allen and if you like his films, you'll enjoy this one. It leaves one asking questions, and leaves one feeling a bit brokenhearted that perhaps all we're searching for is an honest comedy that makes us question why we psychoanalyze everything that is merely a new and interesting way to share our feelings with those around us.
