About this movie

Two couples discover the grass may not always be greener on the other side in Woody Allen's breezy comedy on wry, You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger. Hoping to relive the pleasures of youth, Alfie Shepridge (Anthony Hopkins) dumps his wife of 40 years (Gemma Jones) and pursues a young call girl (Lucy Punch). So when daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) develops a crush on her boss (Antonio Banderas) and husband Roy (Josh Brolin) becomes obsessed with the beauty (Freida Pinto) who lives across the way, the entire clan's fantasies take on reality as their passions not only drive them out of their marriages, but out of their minds as well.

Ratings and reviews

Allen at his usual high quality story telling and many brilliantly reserved film moments. Ah WA is such a crafted artiste able to use what flows through his hands. The talented ensemble are equally well cast as if already in Woody''s mind as Allen wrote the script. I really enjoyed this film and would happily watch it again. The audience may be reminded that 'it's the story' that makes art pleasurable.
