This is a generally stupid and boring movie, with some reasonably pretty supporting female roles surrounding two brothers who have a rich uncle. The two brothers have a boat, called Cassandra's dream, and it's symbolic of the hope in their lives for a better tomorrow and is used as a vehicle for irony. The uncle needs a favor, and it seems like it might be a path to a secured future, but what about the risk? Therein lies the rub.
Colin Farrel doesn't really act in this movie since he's playing a confused slightly retarded effeminate momma's boy, I doubt it was much of a stretch for him to play that role. Ewan plays his brother and works a lot harder at actually acting in the movie and does a fair job, but you still are left with sort of a schlock tongue-in-cheek treatment to the script. When the movie ends you will most assuredly be saying to yourself, "That's it? Well, thank god it's over."
Better movies by Woody Allen:
Vicki Cristina Barcelona, New York Stories, Sleeper, Annie Hall, Bananas
