My title really sums it up. We have a film trying to be two things and failing at both. It was neither funy enough or great with the drama aspect. Don't really bother with this one.... Full review

You have to give Woody credit for trying, but it's made up of stale stuff. The acting is horendous. Will Farrell's attempt at being Woody is ridiculous to say the least. Woody can't act vicariously. The movie is neither comic or... Full review

After reading the good reviews, I was expecting Woody's usual enjoyable intellectual comedy. What are the critics smoking? I got hooked on Woody through the hilarious "Hollywood Ending" in which I could not stop laughing, and that led me to become... Full review

He's really popular right now and he's worked with Allen before (in the decent, but not terribly memorable MELINDA AND MELINDA), but it's the idea of Hopkins in a Woody Allen movie that has me insanely curious.
meaning more serious stuff and less on the absurd comedy, but I'd actually love to see Hopkins in an absurd Woody Allen movie.

The film makes for a painful 99 minutes of viewing.
The movie went with a full, somewhat golden palette much of the time, and it depicted the hues with nice definition.
Decent premise aside, Melinda and Melinda is a real clunker.

life is better as comedy or tragedy.....Allen has finally risen above, returned to his position as a fine filmmaker.....The dramatic story's characters speak intimidating words....Ejiofor is consistently admirable, a dignified presence in sometimes undignified worlds.... ... Full Review

Melinda is runway-model beautiful on the outside, but her constant worry, self-pity, and drug dependency is too draining to make her tragic
As with Woody Allen's previous dvds, there are no special features added along with the movie.

It's no surprise but nonetheless disappointing that Melinda and Melinda 's primary crises (one per story) are grounded in a clumsy take on race, more specifically, on interracial coupling.
They do it by acting out, by acting large, by acting beautifully.
