Hollywood Ending (2002)

It's going to be a shot in the dark!

ComedyDrama

Woody Allen stars as Val Waxman, a two-time Oscar winner turned washed-up, neurotic director in desperate need of a comeback. When it comes, Waxman finds himself backed into a corner: Work for his ex-wife Ellie or forfeit his last shot. Is Val blinded by love when he opts for the reconnect? Is love blind when it comes to Ellie's staunch support? Literally and figuratively, the proof is the picture.

Andres Gomez - 7/10

Classical Woody Allen movie, script and performance. Funny at times, but not one of the best ones.
