Woody Allen hasn't made anything funny in years
not since Zelig
Don't hate on contrarians
It really all depends on what you mean by funny. Like somebody else pointed out, none of his films are American Pie. I like Woody Allen's work well enough, but I wouldn't say that his films are particularly funny to me. That doesn't mean that his films aren't good. A lot of the people at the showing I went to for Café Society were laughing the whole way through the film. I laughed a few times, but I still thought it was a great film. If it were an "American Pie" type of film and I didn't laugh much, then I'd probably say it's not a good film. However, like most of Allen's films, Café Society is more than just a string of jokes or gags meant to make the audience laugh. After all, Woody Allen is an auteur.
shareMaybe you don't like Woody's sense of humor, but regardless, Café Society isn't really a comedy if that is what you were expecting. It's a period piece with an emphasis on style. There are some funny moments but it's not the emphasis of the film, nor probably the intent.
shareOh yes, he has,you're just getting old,losing your sense of humour.Don't get depressed over it.
