This is it, folks. The long-awaited
Woody Allen musical. By long-awaited, we mean only that it seemed
to open everywhere between here and Hoboken before reaching our
humble, B-market burg. Clearly, the world would be a better place
without anymore Woody Allen musical cinema extravaganzas. Allen,
predictably, stars as a neurotic, love-troubled divorcé;
and Goldie Hawn (Allen's ex-wife) and Alan Alda (we'll call him
Allen's husband-in-law) fill in as the parents of the upper-crust
Jewish family at the heart of the action. Devining a plot summary
encompassing all the twisted relationships, cheesy special effects
and Broadway tunes escapes me: Weird stuff happens, and then the
characters begin to sing and dance. Some laughed uproariously,
others writhed in discomfort. That's Woody Allen for ya.
