Melinda and Melinda Reviews
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Has a fascinating premise; it's the execution that's sloppy.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
The Shawn character says, 'Moments of humor do exist (in life). I exploit them, but in a tragic context.' Allen couldn't have said it better himself.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
It's pleasant and challenging enough, in fits and starts, and certainly not the embarrassment of his last few movies.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Half works, and the half that doesn't work isn't so bad that it's not worth sitting through to see a Woody Allen comedy starring Will Ferrell.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
It's middle-rung Woody, but compared to such dismal efforts as "Hollywood Ending" and "Anything Else," the movie is a godsend.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It is a stunt, but at least it is a serious one.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
A movie that too often is dull and duller, an exercise posing as a full-blown drama. Or is it posing as a comedy?
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
Sin City is the most gorgeous digital movie ever made. It represents a stunning leap forward in both the technology of digital cinema and the art of filmmaking.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Allen lately has grown tired of complex characters and inventive actors to play them. He appears to be making movies because that's what he's always done, but the love and the ideas and the zip are essentially gone.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Overcoming the handicap of an overt, writerly device, Allen crafts a warm comedy and a painful tragedy right before our eyes.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
A step in the right direction, yes. A masterpiece, no. Still, it's a big step, one that at least bears comparison with much of Mr. Allen's better work.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
At this point, Allen may be the only guy laughing at his jokes.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The tragedy portions confront the audience with awful proof of just how tedious the filmmaker has become, while the comedic version offers fleeting moments of escape and Melinda and Melinda's only glimpses of how real people live and love.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Comic or tragic, a story should be involving. With dreary, self-involved, characters who move around the plots like sleepwalkers, neither one of these stories is.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Great premise, but talky dramedy doesn't deliver.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
I couldn't buy that two supposedly sophisticated theater people could be so simpleminded about what defines comedy and tragedy. I also couldn't believe in most of the characters, including either version of Melinda.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Ken Tucker
Neither version of Melinda, despite Mitchellâ(TM)s game try at making them distinctive beyond their different hairdos, is funny or tragic enough to fully engage us; thereâ(TM)s no opportunity for an audience to be moved.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
The comic and tragic stories are cleverly intercut, but they're both so inconsequential that it's hard to bring yourself to care which one you're watching.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Melinda and Melinda does have its faults, but it's plainly the work of a master filmmaker.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The details are so complex and interconnected, it becomes more comfortable to let it all wash over you and simply appreciate the passing pleasures.
