after seeing one woody Allen movie a few years back, I was pretty sure that I would want to see more of his stuff. when café society came out, I thought naw, uh uh i'll skip this one...for some reason I even got this notion that ANDY DICK had taken over responsibility for woody Allen and all would be parody. but that's dumb huh. so when this film was released or leaked to the public, I was all like, wow! Joaquin phoenix and parker posey? this has got to be good. Turns out that this film stinks. Joaquin is a drunk professor that slowly starts hanging out with Emma stone more than she does with her own boyfriend. I don't know whats going on with Emma stone, but the last film I saw her in BIRdMAN, was exactly just like this one.. I walk out thinking what a bogus movie! but overnight and the next few days some kind of rewind and review of the film lifts my spirits with some stuff I'm pretty certain I didn't just see or hear in the movie. so here we go...parker posey...all plain and lame requiring apologies for another pretend situation amongst the Giselle bundchkin and tom Brady love life...it seems there are phrases about mattresses and tampax the Armani exchange and Europe being a synonym for your up...that just had me in awe... but where the ploy sucks a bunch is how inspired the drunk professor becomes eavesdropping in a diner with his pupil or student or friend Emma stone...and then as the story unfolds in a hallway with an elevator? WTF! almost like some murder she wrote or Perry mason episode....
