This was disappointing. I was one of those people who said "Midnight in Paris" was the best Woody film since.... It had charm and a magic to it. Yes, it was fluffy but entertaining fluff nevertheless. I always commend anyone for trying to make an IMPORTANT FILM about the fallout from the recession but this never convinced me at all. The writing and characterization was pretty shaky. Did anyone else think it was ridiculous that Sarsgaard's character proposed to her after what seemed like a week? Allen has no idea how to write working-class characters either. They all looked and sounded like they stepped off of the set of Jersey Shore. Cate Blanchett was terrific though.
