Featured reviews
The soundtrack is excellent, the mood is Miami, the Allenesque milieu is perfect for those attracted to it and not limited to urban New York backdrops for its appreciation.
Sarah Jessica Parker is outstanding, Banderas sends himself up perfectly as does Mia Farrow. Other supporting cast is very strong, script is well-written and sparkles in places. I can only attribute the relatively low rating to those that don't like Woody Allen movies; they surely would not like this.
After watching the movie I went to IMDB to see if Woody Allen wrote or directed it. It seemed very much like one of his. SJP plays the Woody Allen character, very creditably.
See it from the beginning; this is not one to pick up in the middle!
It's like if Sex and The City and The Royal tenenbaums met each other in a more realistic way.
Antonio Banderas, Mia Farrow and Jordan Marcus are very entertaing also. However Naomi Campbell isn't. So thank god her screen time is just under 5 minutes.
It's a good entertaining movie though and funny in parts. I recommend it.
From the style and music of the opening credits right through to the to-camera conclusion that mirrors the `need the eggs', this film is like a tropical version of Annie Hall with a female playing the Woody Allen role! Even if it is not a total mirror, it is impossible to watch this film without seeing Allen's influence all over it. So immediately large sections of the audience will want to turn off, however I love Allen so am happy to give this a shot on that basis alone. As a film, it's plot is just a collection of messy relationship through which Carrie, sorry, Gwyn learns lessons. It isn't substance rich but that's the point - instead it is quick and rather witty, never sitting still for very long but being quite fun with it.
The cast also helps as they do some very fun turns despite some weaknesses. Parker is good and her New York personae certainly seems to fit the material. Bellows is rather bland for the role but there are some great little bits from Banderas, Farrow and Mazursky. It's always good to see Pollack and Piven but Campbell demonstrates why she hasn't moved into a successful film career by reading her lines with all the emotion of iron (although she looked great in the beach-shoot scene).
Overall this is a fun little film that is quite slick if you are a fan of Woody Allen's relationship neurosis films. If you're not then you'll probably do well to avoid this film.

Derek: [explaining why he is breaking up with her] Look, it's my fault. I just can't commit to anything in my life.
Gwyn Marcus: Why do you assume that it's you? May be I have a fear of commitment, you know? May be I have the Peter Pan syndrome?
Derek: You can't be a Peter Pan. Only men are Peter Pans.
Gwyn Marcus: Well, actually, most of the great Peter Pans in history were played by women.
Derek: What is that supposed to mean? You're seeing someone else too?
