Hollywood Ending
(Reviewed May 9, 2002)
-
In a new TV documentary, Woody Allen says his early role model was Bob Hope. Like Hope at the end of his career, Allen is now at the point where he seems to slide by on goodwill alone. The only difference is that Woody never gets caught looking off-camera to read his bad jokes from cue-cards.
This movie is dull, unfunny and obvious. We also are treated once again to the disturbing spectacle of the Woodman in romantic relationships with women young enough to be his granddaughters (in this case, the ditzy Debra Messing and the flawlessly perfect, mouthwateringly lovely goddess-of-all-women Tea Leoni). Enough, already.
Go rent one of his "early funny ones" instead.
Back Row Grade: D (Saved from an "F" by tantalizing Tea)
