Ephemeral, Woody Allen. Only for his fans.

The frog prince of New York comedy again wallows in the middle of the frame as various familiar faces, namely various princes and princesses from television, dart about him like so many flies with a death wish.

Hollywood Ending just isn't very funny.

Funny but perilously slight.

Woody Allen can write and deliver a one liner as well as anybody. But I had a lot of problems with this movie.

The whole thing feels thrown desperately together.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 3, 2002

You'll wonder if the title of the new George Lucas movie -- Attack Of The Clones -- might not have worked nicely here too.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 3, 2002

If all late-life male fantasies were as entertaining as Hollywood Ending frequently is -- well, we'd all have more fun at the multiplexes.

Every time Woody Allen seems as if he's through, he comes back swinging.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 3, 2002

With Hollywood Ending, he's made three solid comedies in a row, each a light lark with no hint of morose self-reflection.

Full Review | Original Score: B | May 3, 2002

Hollywood Ending feels sadly like Woody Allen's ending.

Destined to make Allen's fans around the world giggle, guffaw and shiver with delight.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | May 3, 2002

It's as if Allen, at 66, has stopped challenging himself.
