Review

The first twenty minutes of this film were so utterly
derivative of other Woody Allen films-- especially Annie
Hall and Manhattan-- that it was depressing. Not a single
fresh joke or perception or neurosis. Then, slowly and
gradually, Jason Biggs as Jerry Faulk and Christina Ricci as
his girlfriend Amanda, built their characters into
personalities you could care about, and the story developed
off into a new direction. Though this still has to be
regarded as sub-par Woody Allen, it became entertaining and
interesting and even mildly funny at times.
