Vicky Cristina Barcelona review

Vicky Cristina Barcelona = B
Not nearly as good as I wanted to be, fairly disappointing. It's not one I could readily recommend to fellow movie fans, but I definitely could to Woody Allen fans. The dialogue, as in most Allen movies, is superb. That's easily the best part of it. Well that and Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Penelope Cruz and Patricia Clarkson, who I fell in love with in Miracle. She's a great actress.
James Beradinelli was a bit harsh in his review, 2.5 stars. I agree more with Roger Ebert's review. He gave it three stars. I think both of their rating systems top out at four stars.
Saw it Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008.

Other movies to see:
Hamlet 2
Burn After Reading
Elegy
What Just Happened?
