Reviews

thebc-86158 Cafe Society is the first film with Woody Allen associated with it I've seen unless you count Antz and he is fantastic with the offbeat comedy and drama. It follows a young man named Bobby (Jessie Eisenberg) as he moves to Hollywood to get a job from his uncle (Steve Carell) who is a Hollywood producer and falls in love with Veronica "Vonnie" (Kristen Stewart) as he slowly gets more connections and rises to more importance. The film is funny and upbeat with an excellent 30's jazz filed soundtrack, great performances, and hilarious bits thrown in amongst a slightly boring and predictable but well directed and acted period piece comedy about showbiz. 8.5/10

capricornius This is a great movie. Far better than I expected; I'm not the biggest fan of movies set in the past, though. It's a great mix between drama and comedy, I would definitely buy this on DVD if I should find it. But I just don't get why it's taking place in the 1930's, in my opinion the movie would be just as good if it took place in out time. And, again in my opinion, I feel that Steve Carrell is slightly miscast in that role, I'd prefer someone like John C. McGinley or someone like that instead. But otherwise it's a great movie. I'd give it 80%, or 8/10.

Michael Ledo The feature starts out introducing Phil Stern (Steve Carell), a millionaire Hollywood agent. His party is interrupted by a phone call from New York. His sister (Jeannie Berlin) lets him know Bobby (Jesse Eisenberg) hates his job and is coming out to California. After a few attempts, Bobby gets to meet Phil who takes care of him. Bobby is odd man out in a love triangle and returns to NY where he works a night club for his criminal brother Ben (Corey Stoll). The film has Woody Allen all over it. Jesse Eisenberg plays the Allen persona perfectly as his lines ooze and drip with subtle irony. The odd prostitute scene with Anna Camp, Leonard asking a man to turn down his radio, and the theological musings toward the end, and the spring-autumn romance is just a continuation of over-all Allen humor.The film starts about 1935, that is when "The Woman in Red" played in the theaters, although I don't think there is an effective time line going forward. Sadly, Eisenberg and Stewart create a different chemistry than what they had in "American Ultra." Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
