You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger


Movie: You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin, Gemma Jones, Antonio Banderas
Director: Woody Allen
Genre: romantic comedy
I saw it on: October 5, 2010
Synopsis: Helena (Gemma Jones) and Alfie (Anthony Hopkins) are married with a grown daughter, Sally (Naomi Watts).  Sally is married to Roy (Josh Brolin).  Alfie leaves Helena for a young hooker.  Helena goes off the deep end with a psychic – she lives her life by what her psychic tells her.  Roy is a very depressed writer with a bad case of writers-block. While trying to write, Roy spends a lot of time gazing out his apartment window at a woman in an apartment across from his.  Roy becomes infatuated with this woman and eventually starts seeing her.  Meantime he also finds an innovative solution to his writer’s block – while developing a crush on.  Sally has the hots for her art gallery boss, Antonio Banderas.   And then things get complicated.

My two cents: Kind of a typical Woody Allen movie.  Lots of quirky off-beat humor.  The people are definitely marching to the beat of a different drummer.  I had a great time with this movie.
