Woody Allen's comedy explores the trouble with Harry, a nerdy, neurotic New York writer, with more than his fair share of problems in his blocked creative and erotic life. Woody has signed up an amazing cast to fill 85 speaking roles, including Billy Cristal as Harry's romantic rival, Kirstie Alley, Demi Moore, Judy Davis and Robin Williams as a man literally out of focus thanks to a magic special effect. It doesn't look as though it could fail, does it? But it does, thanks to Woody's sour and whingeing screenplay peppered with four-letter words. Worse still it's sunk by a near-total lack of funny jokes. Allen looks old and tired, and his semi-autobiographical story suffers from the same problems. We've been here, done that, and it was better in the Seventies.
