Though there are laughs along the way, this is a truly mean-spirited picture.

With its blunt, artless angst, the picture leaves you feeling depleted, squashed.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
It's the first Woody Allen film in which impotence has become the situation rather than the problem. This is a movie about a guy who has given up.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
Invokes the mood of an early Fellini film as it swirls through the troubled recollections of a film director, played by Mr. Allen.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten
One long cry of anguish about the price of fame comes perilously close to self-pity. And self-abuse.
