This looks fantastic to me. I see some elements of Scoop, but the setting it in the past is brilliant and the cast looks terrific.

It might be time for Kevin Jagernauth to take a break. Even a lesser Woody Allen movie is worth seeing, he's a master. And a Woody Allen period piece is always special.

And a lot of directors make the same film over and over. That's what they do. Even Scorsese has said several of his films are about protecting his brother.

This must be Emma's most adorable role. And Colin is so handsome. C'mon! Age is just a number and I'm pretty sure they're gonna have a good chemistry.

I like Colin Firth and Emma Stone but the age difference is kinda distracting and creepy. He is close to 30 years older than her.

I'm beginning to forget what a great Woody Allen film feels like. I'm so used to these Bad/OK/Pretty Good films with a few strong performances, a few good scenes, but lots of stilted dialogue and scenes that don't really work (and nobody else could get away with because their name isn't Woody Allen).

pay no mind to anything jagernauth writes. he's in his bait the reader phase. i simply refuse to believe anyone is as bad at blog copy as he is.

however, the film appears to be quaint and charming, typical allenesque fair. it really depends on the chemistry of the leads if the film will be any good or not. while Midnight in Paris i found to be delightful, To Rome With Love was dire. Blue Jasmine was a Streetcar Named Desire retread with great acting.

Also, I have disliked some Woody Allen movies but to suggest that he "take a break" is ridiculous. He's an old man. A "break" is much more like an end. Meaning to sit on a movie until the next year when it's no guarantee he'll be able to make it the next year is to take a big risk. Let's appreciate the fact that every year means a new Woody Allen movie comes out and just accept that not every movie is guaranteed to be one of the greats. Plus, let's remember that this is all subjective and again, that we're watching a trailer, and not the actual movie!!

why don't you take a break from making snap judgements attached to trailers? Or a break from countless inane posts about movies that will never happen. Leave Woody alone.

Since the person who wrote the snarky comments above HAS NOT SEEN THE MOVIE, as a entertainment reporter writing for an ALLEGEDLY responsible and professional website, he should not be offering an opinion of fhe film. He can review it AFTER he's seen it. People who offer negative comments about movies they haven't seen are the worst kind. Spare us from this drivel.

"where our two leads are caught in a rainstorm and run into an observatory, essentially ripping from Allen's classic 'Annie Hall'" – Bro, seriously?

they ripped the scene off from Manhattan, not Annie Hall
