You have no idea how much it pains me to allege that Woody Allen has such a poorly directed film attributed to him, but, that is exactly what one can expect from Don't Drink the Water. The plot is listless, the camera constantly feels miles away from its subject and the film itself drags which is quite a feat when it's only 90 minutes. I know, it was only a television film but Woody is such a master I still expected more. I did enjoy the many nods to the Marx Brothers, and will always enjoy seeing Woody Allen in one of his films.
