I like Magic in the Moonlight but I can't really defend it, if that makes sense. I just like to have it on. The scenery, the soundtrack, Colin Firth being Colin Firth. It's a guilty pleasure.
I've come to the conclusion that I enjoy Woody Allen most when the comedy takes a bit of a backseat. Even bits of Annie Hall irritate me, when he's trying to shoehorn a gag in where it isn't needed. I'd say Hannah and Her Sisters is the one where he gets the balance just right.
