Before watching I'd thought that was Woody Allen's work however I was wrong and thank heavens. The film is interesting to see once but no more. A funny twisted story, not bad music, good acting. Everything is alright but it isn't a remarkable picture and I even can't mention something noteworthy.

Advantages

• Owen Wilson as Arnold Albertson

Disadvantages

• Just an other silly comedy

"Strangenesses"

• Seems like Peter Bogdanovich wanted to be like Woody Allen
