Larry David is definitely not a character I would see in movies every day. In any case, Whatever Works was a Woody Allen movie I’ve enjoyed to the fullest and he was the one who deserved a standing ovation for the entire movie. This movie is exactly the same. If I were tipsy, maybe even blackout drunk, I’d rate this movie five stars, because this sort of condition is definitely suitable for this movie. It deals with flirting, who slept with whom and who got down on their knees for whom; this sort of debate is definitely befitting being drunk. It doesn’t have the right kick when you’re sober – and the same goes for this movie, although it isn’t that bad. Also, I must add that I’m writing this after drinking four beers. But I watched the movie after I drank a tea.

I don't know what it was, but when I watched the movie, I just didn't feel anything. Just no emotion. Perhaps it was fatigue. Then I gave it some thought. It's actually a movie about how one guy messes up his life at a fairly old age and then tries to fix it ten years later by messing it up even more. But he still has friends who won't forget him. And that's it. Nice. It's pleasing to see smaller roles for the movie stars, but otherwise, it just didn't leave much of an impression on me.
