Woody's always good at mocking showbiz attitudes, and the first third of this movie-making farce features his funniest pure comedy writing since 1998's "Celebrity". Unfortunately, as soon as the silly one-joke premise about psychosomatic blindness gets started, the audience is in for a steady decline in quality.
Woody stumbling across chairs and falling down stages (not to mention him mistaking female breasts for cushions) wears thin after a while, more so as some scenes drag on for too long (no wonder considering the two hour running time) and a lame father-son-subplot is introduced far too late in the game. But some chuckles here and there help one to get through to the final punchline... or shall I say "pointe"?
Watch Allen's "Broadway Danny Rose" and "Bullets Over Broadway" instead.
