Movie Critic: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I'll say it right now -
I'm a 23 year-old heterosexual male that loves Woody Allen movies.
There, now that that is out of the way - since 1992 he's put out horse shit. But I think he may be back to his old form here. The movie has a great setting - Barcelona - and a great cast - Rebecca Hall (Vicky), Scarlett Johansson (Cristina... clever title eh?) - and Javier Bardem (who I'm pretty sure sweats testosterone). The first thing that lured me into this film was the promise of a scene in which Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz make-out... to be frank, I'd watch a movie where Margaret Cho and Bea Arthur make-out if I someone told me, '... well, you won't hate it.' It reminded me of my week in Barcelona... except with more 3 somes... and the inclusion of sex in general. It was actually kind of interesting hearing the normal 'Woody Neurotic Dialogue' from someone else - in this case Rebecca Hall (who along with Bardem are fantastic in this movie). It suffers from uneven pacing and starts falls apart with an ending that just left me feeling unsatisfied (typical Scar-Jo).
