Is it more accurate to see life as a comedy or a tragedy? This is philosophical question gives Woody Allen the hook to explore the complications that arise when an old friend shows up at her friend’s dinner party with more than a little bit of baggage. I was intrigued enough to take another look at Woody Allen who has become too repetitive for me in recent years.  The film gives you a few good laughs, particularly when Will Farrell’s muses over whether it would be OK for a liberal Democrat to have sex with a Republican. But on the whole it doesn’t break any new ground. Allen’s problem is that he makes too many movies (one a year), leaving him no time to make a really good one. The storyline gives Radha Mitchell (who also played in Finding Neverland and Man on Fire the opportunity to show just how good an actress she is.  Somewhat irritatingly you feel that Woody Allen is stuck in Will Farrell’s body because you hear Woody talking.
