Our story begins in the picturesque surroundings of Barcelona where two American girls are about to find out that they have a lot more in common than they first anticipated. Vicky is a practical, studious and engaged. Cristina on the other hand is reckless, adventurous and recovering from a failed relationship. Both of them are about to have their worlds turned upside down by an infamous, bohemian artist called Juan and his psychotic ex-wife.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona review by EC
A laugh an hour...yawn

I am disappointed with myself for giving Woody Allen another chance. It has some stars in it (and that's the point), and Barcelona is a photogenic city, but the weak plot, self conscious voiceover and contrived sexual tension are just too much. It has the director's fantasy-laden paw prints all over it. On the positive side, of course all four main actors do what they can - and they all look good (again that's the point) AND there was one laugh out loud moment. One.

... to like Woody Allen, but years later it still is just flat, superficial, self important filmmaking. The overly explained voice over means that the incredible actors are only permitted to do much less than they are capable of... and are simply cardboard cut outs of the uninteresting people the film claims to dislike. Keeping the audience at an arms length without allowing a moment to think or take in ideas, rather it is explained moment by moment - the romance and feeling is sucked out at every turn where it may be allowed to briefly bloom. Take it off your list - now.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona review by EW
Vicky and Christina fulfill Woody's Fantasy
(1) of (2) members found this review helpful.
I enjoyed this film more than I expected mainly because Woody Allen was not as obvious a presence in it as he is in many of his other films. Scarlett is gorgeous to look at and for once there is some serious eye candy for the girls in the shape of Javier Bardem whcih perked this film up for me.
As usual with a Woody Allen film it's all about the neurotic rather unreal characters and their take on relationships rather than anything much actually happening but the sumptous setting of Barcelona gives this film a luscious extra dimension which takes it above average.
Penelope shouts too much and goes over into a latino cliche, but Javier's wardrobe is worth a watch on its own.
