Comedy, Dry
4 stars
Very good Woody Allen flick about restless couples looking for greener grass. Naomi Watts and Josh Brolin star as the central couple, unhappy with how their lives are going. Brolin becomes attracted to Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) and Watts develops a crush on Antonio Banderas. Meanwhile, Watts’s parents have recently divorced and her Dad, Anthony Hopkins, enjoys his midlife crisis while her Mom, Gemma Jones, hilariously becomes dependant on a fortune teller (and drives everyone crazy!). Jones is a treat as she plays a slightly toned down version of her other beloved character: Bridget Jones’s Mom. Not everything is resolved at the end; it is left to your imagination. Great soundtrack of old romantic tunes. Good movie.
