You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
Like a lot of Woody Allen films, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger has this awkward realistic feeling to it. The film takes place in London with Alfie (Anthony Hopkins) and Helena (Gemma Jones) a husband and wife of forty years who have recently split up due to the fact that Alfie does not want to be alone so out of desperation and possibly the feeling of being young again marries a hooker named Charmaine.
Helena starts to visit a physic and begins to think spiritually. Then you have their daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) who works at an art gallery and dreams to open her own one day and she is married to Roy, (Josh Brolin) a former doctor trying to make it as a writer.
The film reminds me of constant romantic frustration. With Allen's style of narration which he uses in other films doesn't seem to work as much, but because of the great cast they pull the film together making it a well entertaining film.
I give this film four out of five stars because it's a film that copies how life really is full of awkward situations that keep getting worst and more frustrating and that's what makes it good. When I watched it I went with a few friends and all they kept saying was, "you can tell this is a Woody Allen film" and this is also why I liked it.
The funny thing is the narration, which I thought was done by Woody Allen, which was done by Zak Orth, who was trying to sound like Allen. I urge you if you have not seen this film already to go check it out as it truly is a must see.
