- Was horrible.

Mind you, I liked the film quite a bit, but the VO sounded like he was bored, & reading the words for the first time. It took me right out of the movie every time it happened. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read who had actually done it.

Am I alone?

It was the only way to have him in the movie.

You gotta know when to call it quits, old man. Period.

I'm a little surprised that you had to read to figure out who the narrator was. Woody Allen has the most recognizable voices of any human on planet earth.

Funny, I thought that the voiceover sounded like Chaz Palmientieri (the Usual Suspects cop).

I'm sorry but was that Woody Allen narrating? Know he's up in years but did not sound like him.

He saved money doing it himself

I thought he was okay.

I thought the voice sounded more like Jerry Lewis than Woody Allen.

Quite unnecessary.

I knew it was Woody but it sounded like stroke victim Woody Allen.

Yeah I didn't care for the VO either. Almost sounded like Valium induced Harvey Keitel.
