Yes, it's all familiar, been done before, maybe better . . . But there are some nice touches here. Another reviewer has pointed out the various nods to the earlier movie, notably the Brian May score and the character names.
This remake or homage or update or whatever it is does tend to drag here and there, and some of the scenes are pretty gross. Well, the frog eating one is, anyway.
Finally, one thing nobody else has mentioned is the brief but brave contribution of Simone Buchanan as Patrick's ill-fated mother. She has described spending a day naked in a tub of bathwater, wearing a wet merkin at the age of 45. For that I thank her.

Funny? Nope - OK, one amusing exchange - the bit about helping the girls dress and undress, and forty francs a week being all Woody can afford. Sexy? Nope - a bit of cleavage here and there, bugger all else.
Apparently Woody Allen was very unhappy with this film, and no wonder. It's like somebody decided to make a risqué sex farce then leave any really sexy bits on the cutting room floor. When I first saw the very brief Crazy Horse scenes I thought that they must have been censored.
Find a copy of the August 1965 Playboy and check out the article "What's Nude, Pussycat?" and the Paula Prentiss stripper scenes which are not, repeat not, in the movie. They might have made it at least interesting. It's a very dishonest attempt to lure viewers to this dreary, mindless mess.

I really like Amy Ryan, she was great in "The Wire" and marvellous in "Lost Girls", but I don't think she was right for this part at all. Rosanna Arquette showed how to play an aging "rock chick" in a great little movie, coincidentally named "Sugar Town".
I didn't like Colin Farrell in "True Detective" and I thought he was extremely disappointing here too. I get that the character was suitable for playing in a kind of deadpan, world-weary way, but he didn't carry it off. The dull-as-dishwater voice over was woefully under-written and inadequate.
The clips from old movies were okay, some worked better than others. The gun that Glen Ford used in "The Big Heat" was a pretty little touch and gave me brief hope that the series might turn out okay. It didn't.
