Vicky Cristina Barcelona (DVD) Reviews

Vicky Cristina Barcelon is a Woody Allen directed film and a pretty entertaining one at that. The highly thought of Javier Bardem stars opposite Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson is an enjoyable film that managed to hold my attention but also lacked a certain spark that would lead me to give it more than three Dooyoo stars. The film ...  Read the complete review

This 2008 film, written and directed by Woody Allen arrived from lovefilm at the weekend and so I finally got to see it. I had been waiting for an opportunity to do so for ages as this was a film I had heard a lot about, ranging from gushing praise to bitter disappointment, I was determined to make my own mind up. I have to say that in ...  Read the complete review

I am a BIG woody allen film and so naturally was excited to see this film. I somehow missed it at the cinema, maybe it came out during exam season, but caught it on dvd. I knew it didn't feature allen himself, so wouldn't be the same sort of film as Annie Hall, but it seemed promising. Plot: Vicky, played by Rebecca Hall, and Christina, ...  Read the complete review

I had never got round to seeing "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" when it was at the cinema but had it on my DVD rental list and finally got round to watching it recently. The film was written and directed by Woody Allen and is a little bit quirky and strange which although I am not a film expert probably fits in with his other ...  Read the complete review

Before I begin to discuss the film, the soundtrack is fantastic and worth buying alone. Just by listening to the music of the opening credits you're immediately transported to Spain! The story is that two friends - Vicky and Cristina, (Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson) are invited to stay with Vicky's relatives in Barcelona. While ...  Read the complete review

I've never been a big fan of Woody Allen as I just don't 'get it' when it comes to his humour and style. That said, I enjoyed this film. The plot centres on a soon-to-be-married Vicky (played excellently by Rebecca Hall) and her summer trip to Barcelona with her friend Cristina (another good performance from Scarlett Johansson): local ...  Read the complete review

Woody Allen's work as of late has cast something of a shadow over his career - considering he wrote masterpieces such as Manhattan and Annie Hall, he has recently settled for still solid pieces of work, such as Anything Else and Melinda and Melinda, but nothing that sets the screen alight either performance wise or, more importantly with Allen's ...  Read the complete review

My knowledge of Woody Allen is sufficiently weak that, I confess, it means nothing more than overtly sexual movies to me (and I have no idea whether I'm right there). Allen was more my parent's generation, but this movie had a great write up in the Telegraph last week, and so I dove right in. The movie tells the story of two girls, ...  Read the complete review

I am a big big fan of Woody Allen. After making movies like Annnie Hall, Kramer vs kramer etc. I dont think it is one of the finest creations of woody allen but definitely entertaining and timepaas. A perfect summer romantic flick!. The story revolves around two friends, sexually adventerous Christina and cautious Vicky. Vicky is ...  Read the complete review

I have been enjoying a bit of a Woody Allen fest recently when it comes to movies and Vicky Cristina Barcelona is a decent enough film from the rather productive mind of My Allen. Javier Bardem star opposite Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson is an enjoyable film that managed to hold my attention but failed to really stir or inspire ...  Read the complete review

If you remember in 2007 we saw Javier Bardam, a ferocious villain, wearing a bad haircut, roaming destructively around the county of Texas in the film 'No Country for Old Men.' He played the role of one of the most frightening men in the history of film. In Woody Allen's new comedy, 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Bardam has a new hairstyle ...  Read the complete review
