Review of Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) by Rob R — 11 Aug 2011

A recent Woody Allen film - oh dear. But this wasn't that bad. I mean it wasn't that good but it wasn't that bad. My main issue I guess is that I don't remember laughing once. Watching films from his heydays there's usually something to chuckle over, but no, this was more the situation and I guess Penelope Cruz's character was rather eccentric.

However the voiceover really grated as did the many (4, 5?) namechecks of Gaudi, yeah we get it, you like him. Overall, absolutely fine, not that great. ps we speak english in this house.
