Blended

Blended; Sandler and Barrymore are a classic pairing that works, especially within their new parental roles. Sweetly silly, goofy fare; B

Everyone Says I Love You

Directed by:  Woody Allen
Starring:  Woody Allen, Julia Roberts, Edward Norton, Drew Barrymore
Running Time:  1h 37min

Woody once again surrounds himself with beautiful women and tries to make us believe that one of them (Roberts) will fall in love with him.  At least this time there's a funny explanation, as his daughter has knowledge of everything Roberts tells her shrink  Having the narration of his daughter is very effective and allows other characters to play in the film, without a direct connection to the irritating Woody.  The set pieces of singing and dancing are hilarious.  Classic spoofing of the musical genre, at its finest.  Allen knows exactly what's sweet and romantic about musicals, and what's just plain cheese and onions.  It's a fine parody film, and musical comedy in its own right.  Once again, Allen finds the perfect line to walk and executes again.

Grade:  B
