Movie review - "A Rainy Day in New York" (2019) **

I wish Woody would take more time and effort. Maybe work with a co writer. Adapt something. He's got some good young actors in this movie - but they all talk like they're, well, hanging out with Woody Allen, with references to Gone with the Wind.

Again a young woman wants to hump a middle aged man (Liev Schreiber), and also an older film star (Diego Luna), a hooker is invited along to an event pretending to be someone else, there is talk of woman.

Tim Chalamet plays one of Allen's least sympathetic protagonists - he doesn't work, has no goals, is rich, mopes around a woman but has Selena Gomez throw herself at him.

Maybe if the characters were twenty years older? The stuff around the side characters was entertaining - Jude Law bickering with Rebecca Hall and so on.

I just wish he'd put in more effort. Work with a co writer. Adapt. Something.
