How could this have a 7.1 rating? I gave it a 9! Or perhaps just a fan of the small, endearing movies that don't fit the cookie cutter mold?
shareIt's down to 6.8 now. I gave it 8/10. The direction and writing are stronger than the performances, but this is one of Woody Allen's better recent films.
shareI like many Woody Allen movies but I really didn't like this one. When the ending came I really hated it. Maybe I was just in a bad mood or something but the movie did absolutely nothing for me. I gave it a 5.
share7.1 is about right, IMHO..most of Woody's movies in the last 20 years have hovered around the middle-to-above-average range, with some obvious exceptions. I love it any time a new Woody film comes out, and will happily see what he's up to each year, but I don't expect much except a mildly amusing entertainment. Gone are the days of "Crimes and Misdemeanors". His movies these days are rather shrug-your-shoulders amusing and mild - not bad by any means, but definitely not masterpieces.
Please nest your IMDB page, and respond to the correct person -
I agree on the 7-ish.
I gave it an extra star (8) just because of the Vince Giordano on the ST
Agreed. I usually like Woody’s movies, even the newer ones even though not all of them are that great as his old movies. But Café Society I really didn’t like. But I think I mostly had the problem with the casting, and story was not that interesting to me, apart some bits, mainly the ones which didn’t involve the main character.
shareUnderrated for sure; chalk some of that up to people just not wanting to have a movie that doesn't give all the answers, and the rest is probably up to anti-Woody goons.
