Where to begin? Maybe it's the 30 years that have passed since this was made, but it hasn't worn well. A bland idea for the plot, poorly conceived, with irrelevant sub-plots and characters. Absurd dialogue and fuzzy main characters whose behavior is either unexplained or illogical in the context. Branagh's worship of Woody Allen was evident already here in his strange portrayal of the main character as if he was a neurotic New Yorker, a trait however that fades, as the film progresses, for no discernible reason. What was Robin Williams' character even for? What was the Andy Garcia sub-plot about? It amounted to nothing, in the end. As did the film itself.
