Review of Husbands and Wives (1992) by Jane L — 03 Oct 2014
Review:
This is yet another movie about troubled relationships by Woody Allen, with a New York backdrop. It's about 2 couples who are questioning there marriages and wonder if they could find happiness with another partner. Personally, Â got bored after a while and it seemed like the movie wasn't going anywhere. Although the movie is classed as a light comedy, I found it to be more of a emotional drama with Woody Allen babbling all the way through. I find it amazing that one director can make so many movies about the same subject without changing them in the slightest. Anyway, it's a watchable movie which has some average performances by the actors, but it's my nothing amazing. Average!
Round-Up:
After watching Liam Neeson kicking butt in his movies lately, it's weird seeing him in a dramatic comedy, looking so young. He obviously wasn't comfortable with this genre, although he was good in Love Actually, but since then he just seems to stick to voice overs and action movies. As for Woody Allen he just seems to act the same in all of his romantic comedies so his performance wasn't that surprising. On the plus side, I do rate him for acting and writing most of his projects because it must be hard to direct yourself. I think my problem is that I'm watching these Woody Allen movies back to back because they all seem really similar.
Budget: $20million.
Domestic Gross: $11million.
I recommend this movie to people who are into there Woody Allen movies which are mostly about troubled relationships and affairs. 4/10.
