Review of Hollywood Ending (2002) by Christopher L — 01 Jan 2005
Starring: Woody Allen, Tea Leoni, Treat Williams, George Hamilton, and Debra Messing.
Written and Directed by Woody Allen.
Rated [b]PG-13[/b] (for some drug references and sexual material).
Running time approximately 1 hour 52 minutes.
Possibly Allen's worst effort since 1992's [i]Shadows and Fog[/i], [i]Hollywood Ending[/i] is just too long, too slow and not interesting enough to recommend. Allen is very funny, and Debra Messing plays against her TV persona Grace as a stupid would-be actress, whose also in cahoots with Allen after a vicious divorce from Leoni, who, as usual, shines. It's all very well acted and directed, but the material is tired and I was not as amused as I had hoped to be. [b]**1/2 (out of ****) B-[/b].
