The clever pen of Woody Allen returns to enrich the stationer consuming sheets on sheets in respect of a London for the fourth time in signing the contract that binds you to put on the perfect stage, after the brilliant results obtained with Match Point and Scoop , with something less Cassandra's Dream, to represent the new act comedy 75 year old man that the tireless director of New York continues to serve forty years now.
On a point of departure as a sentence in the repertoire of fortune-tellers: "You'll meet a tall, dark stranger" in order not to weigh the money spent, we follow the lives of crumpled Helena - seduced by the siren song of a visionary, in fact, after her husband Alfie, surprised one night to think about eternity and give in to panic immoderate, decided to recapture youth by sending the key to the destruction of the house finally arriving to marry Charmaine, un'attricetta that until some time before rounded off with the profession and that, in addition to a text setting blank would be too generous, not much is committed to ensuring that the past does not come back to be alive - and his daughter Sally, whose ménage with Roy is sorely tested by the inability of these to follow up a successful novel of onset as well as from too long to postpone the choice of unprotected sex. And certainly the stubbornness in not wanting to blow dust off with a degree in medicine does not help.
Two strong women, Helen and Sally, but a force that in a perfect world would be a horror: one that feeds it with a deck of cards which has become a dogma (the very first piercing and unforgettable Sally plan to realize that the mother is permanently lost), the other with the painful acceptance that only a divorce can (maybe) patch up the tears of a life spent to encourage her husband in spite of everything and to reserve a place for the aspirations of second-order personal laws degree in art history and a desire to open a gallery, that would have everything to gain by a nose like a few to discover new talent.
In the middle: the first only imagined betrayals and then consumed (Opposite charming Sally and Roy) and only longed (Sally against Greg, his employer at one of the finest art galleries listed on the city moving - perhaps the most beautiful scene from the movie - the joy of the woman to try a pair of expensive earrings Greg wants to give his wife and for which he needed a female opinion), a crime of the most cowardly.
Commented by a non-intrusive narrator, meet the man of your dreams is a film of great entertainment which does not recognize the satisfaction sorry: shaped by Allen, of course, the characters, even the boundary can not do not let all the sign and the story oscillates between net without cracking a first part and a second lighter shades more dramatic if not tragic, and funny lines out there, but frankly you can count on the fingers of one hand. What you feel sorry for, and in fact detract from the work in suo complesso, è la mancanza di un finale alle storie, umanamente appassionanti, di Alfie (che subirà la definitiva umiliazione nella decisione di far effettuare il test del DNA all’agognato figlio maschio), di Sally e soprattutto di Roy. Per loro nessuna illusione, solo scatole e scatole di medicine.
