Great movie, although I enjoyed VCB better. I really like Owen Wilson in the title role, he channels Woody Allen's persona very well, only in less neurotic and overall "cooler" package. Wilson seems like a natural fit for Woody's movies and I hope to see future collaborations.
As a side note - I always wondered about the typical Woody Allen's character present in at least half of his movies, played by the director himself or other actors who, however, mimic his persona. The overly neurotic, intellectual, effeminate, but also somewhat charming and extroverted character. He's as beta as can be (both behavior and looks), but does fairly decent with women and often pulling way above his weight. In real life, Woody Allen's personal life was quite colorful and he was getting on with a few hotties in his time. Guys I know in person with similar personality do know a lot of hot girls, but usually get friendzoned automatically and play the role of emotional tampon to their many female friends, a role they might actually enjoy to a certain degree. But occasionally they do get it on with one of them. It's interesting since they do everything against the common sense game teachings (except perhaps being outgoing), but still pull sometimes...
