Woody Allen, who must now be regarded as cinema's most reliable auteur, is back. This time, Owen Wilson is playing him. Well, maybe let's just say he's playing the Woody Allen part.

Let's just say he's playing a screenwriter whose travels through the City of Light turn into something that sounds like a cross between Manhattan and The Purple Rose of Cairo.

    I'm told that this film is going to be seen in a few more screens this weekend. I hope so, because I need my periodic Rachel McAdams "fix". I'm hoping that Irv is off on his critique and that the movie is MORE than just an interesting "premise".
