I have been a fan of Woody's films since the days of Bananas, and have been fascinated by the evolution they show over the years. I haven't been able to keep up with his more recent material so this is one I had not seen, but the cast was so full of known players that I had to check it out. Pleasant surprise, and I was not expecting to learn that the critics disliked it. It's really quirky, but in a way escapist, and in the present times, it was just what I needed. Maybe going in with no particular expectations and an open mind is best.
