I am a
died-in-the-wool Woody Allen fan. I have probably seen 95% of the
movies he has written and directed. Bar none . . . this was the worst
I've ever seen.
Set in the 1930s, Woody Allen's CAFÉ SOCIETY follows Bronx-born Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) to Hollywood, where he falls in love, and back to New York, where he is swept up in the world of "high society" nightclub life. Centering on events in the lives of Bobby's Bronx family, the film pretends to be a glittering valentine to the movie stars, socialites, playboys, debutantes, politicians, and gangsters who epitomized the excitement and glamour of the age. It was a shallow and phony as a $3 bill.
Eisenberg
acting was particularly awful. The scenes were totally unexciting and
unrealistic. The movie was a two dimensional piece a paper mache. The title should have been AN UGLY STEREOTYPE OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS OF THE 1930's.Set in the 1930s, Woody Allen's CAFÉ SOCIETY follows Bronx-born Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) to Hollywood, where he falls in love, and back to New York, where he is swept up in the world of "high society" nightclub life.
