Query: Interesting Idea, Not Great Execution, 2.5 Stars

Typical Woody Allen characters: pseudo intellectual New Yorkers pondering over the tragic or comic life path of a woman, Melinda, played reasonably well in a duel role by Radha Mitchell. The story unfolds quickly to reveal the simultaneous paths of Melinda as a tragic alcoholic basket case and as an insouciant romantic. Sounds like the makings for a classic Woody Allen flick. Unfortunately nothing really works. Melinda is a very unlikable character in either situation as are all of the people in either story line. Furthermore, Will Ferrell is not convincing as the bumbling, neurotic character normally played by Woody Allen (Allen is just too old to pull it off anymore). Allen was too good at it and Farrell is not. In the end it is just not well represented among the body of Woody Allen's work.
