But i do love Larry David and this film worked in many ways. the hyper nihilistic intellectual humor, the odd chemistry between David and Wood, the set and tone of the film and its consistant mood of angst juxtapose wayward fun. i thought the mother becoming a semi-art star swinger and the dad actualizing his repressed homosexual was a bit kitsch and campy, but i liked this movie overall. 3.5/5 i was worried oging to watch this film, becuase all the online critics and audiences where not being very kind to it, along with the fact that I’m not a Woody Allen fan at all.
