The 21st century has not been kind to Woody Allen’s straight comedies.
However, more recent films such as The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Whatever Works, and Hollywood Ending just didn’t work.
This movie is incredibly depraved, with harsh profanity, sex, murder, bribery, assassination, corporate backstabbing, and jokes at the expense of dumb people.
Some of these films are so funny that they totally shift the bell curve for laughs in mainstream media.
