The last decade has been very up and down in terms of Woody Allen films.Some very good(Deconstructing Harry),some were mediocre(Curse of the Jade Scorpion).Melinda and Melinda is a very nice film to sit back on and enjoy.It has a good script,some great camera-work and the usual strong dialogs.The master himself is absent on screen,but he put his soul in the character of Hobie(Will Ferrell).
The acting is great all round,it's amazing how Allen always seems to get the best out of his actors.The style of the movie is also great,some nice long takes make it enjoyable to watch.
It is by far not his best film(Annie Hall,Manhattan,Bananas and Husbands and Wives are way better),but it is very good and high above the average that's coming out these days.Still,it is imperative that you like Woody Allen films,cause this is as typical as it gets.
