Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

mihkelm1 I liked watching this movie, it's very funny. It provides for a fitful afternoon full of witty dialogue and interesting sequence. The film is definitely original, all of it could've taken place in a theater. The director's done a good job, characters seem to know what they're doing and in general all of it provides a nice evolving story of about 10 people, who are amazingly easy to follow through the different options they have in choosing their partners. Indeed, all the options are pursued in this movie. I liked the way how fast and well all the characters spoke. The film itself is a quite fast-paced one.All in all - it's a romantic comedy. That's what is prevailing, although there are very sad moments.

lewiskendell "Comic or tragic, the most important thing to do is to enjoy life while you can. Because we only go round once, and when it's over, it's over. And, perfect cardiogram or not, when you least expect it, it could end like (snaps fingers) that."The general opinion about Melinda & Melinda is pretty mixed. I fully expected this to be one of Allen's weaker movies, but I ended up enjoying the heck out of it. I don't know if my enjoyment was because of my recent infatuation with Radha Mitchell, or if the movie really was just that good. Whatever the reason, I'm convinced that this movie is sorely underrated. A group of friends sits at a table at a restaurant, and listens to two versions of a story; one comic, and the other tragic. The stories are both played out with completely different actors; save for the character of Melinda (played by Radha Mitchell), who arrives unexpectedly in the middle of a dinner party in both stories. I know that may sound a little confusing, in a movie that questions whether the essence of life is comic or tragic, it works well.Three complaints: some of the humor was hit-and-miss, the script was a little too unfocused to communicate the themes of comedy and tragedy in a way that presented a totally focused point, and Ferrell didn't have a perfect handle on the "Woody Allen role" (though I can't really think of who could have done it better).  Those are the only less- than-favorable comments that I have to make. I thought the film as a whole was a combination of a great cast and smart writing, and those are the main things I look for in anything Allen directs. This is a traditional Woody Allen movie. More Annie Hall than Match Point. Which means it's very verbose, focused on a specific type of people that you only find in New York City, and it has his trademark humor. I would hesitate to recommend this to an Allen novice, but if you know what you're getting into and you "get it", then you might enjoy Melinda & Melinda as much as I did.

Gloede_The_Saint This is the weakest Woody Allen film and sadly this was the last one of his 40 films I watched. Nice way to end it. Luckily his last couple of films were extremely great so I can't wait to see what he will bring us in the future.Why does this fall apart? First of all the premise is to play out two stories based on the same details. One tragic and one funny. However the stories are too much alike mood wise. The tragedy is light, with lots of small understated jokes while the comedy part is really tuned down and doesn't have a lot of funny moments in it.There's not too much tension and you have to wonder. What details the first guy gave them because the facts in the stories have very little in common. And the details they do share are usually twisted around.Overall the tragedy did not make a any impression on me and the comedy was rather tiresome. However it does have mainly good/decent acting and the stories are entertaining enough. Sadly there's just very little here. A huge disappointment!

One individual might see the tragedy inherent in a specific event, and yet someone else might perceive the same event to be a positive. Is the event itself tragic or comic, or does it depend solely upon your point of view?This philosophical merry-go-round is the foundation for Woody Allen's 2004 film, Melinda and Melinda. The film opens at a restaurant where four friends are in the middle of a conversation about life and relationships. Two of the friends are playwrights. One friend says that life is inherently tragic, but the other claims that life is inherently comic. A third friend sets the plot in motion when he asks the two playwrights to listen to a story and then comment on whether the tale is best viewed as a tragedy or comedy.From that point, the film follows two parallel stories, centering on Melinda, a young woman trying to get her life back together after a series of bad relationships and self-destructive behavior. One story follows a dramatic interpretation, and one follows the conventions of a romantic comedy.The premise of following parallel stories is engaging, although clichéd and formulaic. This movie would not seem quite so original had it been produced as a stand-alone tragedy or comedy. But because both story arcs are shown side by side, the film is much more interesting. I think most people enjoy contemplating how life's course can be set in one direction or another by events outside their control. It's fun to imagine what if? scenarios, thinking how things could have been different, if only…The dialogue in the film is a number of things - snappy, clever, poetic, and philosophical. Allen allows his characters to speak what many of us only think. The danger of doing so, however, is that a lot of the dialogue is too on-the-nose and expository. It doesn't ring true for real life. Characters (Melinda especially) engage in reflective and introspective monologues that are often tedious. At times it feels more like a stage play than a film, but perhaps that's the intent, considering that we are seeing this story through the eyes of two playwrights.Of the two "Melinda" stories, the light-hearted, comedic tale is much more interesting, due to the talents of the actors on screen. Will Ferrell plays Hobie, a struggling actor married to an up-and-coming director played by Amanda Peet.Ferrell's Hobie is charming and innocent, and he falls for Melinda (played by Radha Mitchell) when he realizes his marriage is going nowhere. Peet is equally likable as the ambitious workaholic filmmaker, striving to lock in the extra money to get her first feature into production. The dynamic between Ferrell and Mitchell is fun to watch, and the dialogue between the two rings truer than the dramatic counterpart of the film.The weaker of the two stories is the dramatic interpretation. Here, the characters are far less interesting, the dialogue far too stilted, and the acting too melodramatic. Aside from Mitchell's performance, the ensemble around her was flat, stiff, and too over-the-top. Mitchell's portrayal as the emotionally disturbed and suicidal Melinda really carried this portion of the film.Overall, Melinda and Melinda explores some very human themes in very conventional ways, but presents them in a unique way.
