While Cafe Society is certainly not in the category of Woody Allen classics, it is, none the less, an entertaining movie. It pretty much adheres to Allen's standard formula which is in of itself not such a bad idea. A lot of reviewers claim (rightly so) that it doesn't live up to Woody's best, so I tried to view this movie as if it were directed by someone other than Allen. Using that as my guideline, it seems as though this may have been a movie made by someone who is a big Allen fan and who was trying in some way to pay homage to Allen. That being said, the movie would definitely qualify as a success. So if you like Woody Allen movies, you may not be blown away, but, I believe you will be pleasantly surpised.
