review: Woody Allen's A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy is a beautiful movie, it's light, funny and fun to watch. As usual, Allen's script is quirky and filled with energy, charm and bursts of humor. The movie takes you on a whimsical romantic adventure, and with endless shots of amazing scenery, it will surely please your eyes. The acting is quite good as well, besides Mia Farrow's unmemorable contribution, everyone does a fine job, Allen himself particularly stands out as an off-beat, somewhat hopeless inventor. It's a very pleasant film to watch, and among the hugely chaotic-romance story-line, it puts a smile on your face and leaves you with a bit of a sense of wonder. The soundtrack also is superb and adds an extra spring to the movie. A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy may lack some of the depth of Allen's other work's, but if you're looking for a loopy, pleasant movie, this is fantastical, romantic fun. Definitely worth a watch.
