Melinda and Melinda: I love the device in this Woody Allen film of showing the same story from two different perspectives (rather like Sliding Doors). The stories themselves were both interesting and well done and I loved how he used tiny elements (such as props or throwaway lines of dialog) in each one to tie the two halves together. The main weakness came in the framing device, which was too blunt. I felt rather hit over the head with the "message" (much of life depends on how you view it--as comedy or tragedy). Also, Will Ferrell had the Woody Allen role, and as much as I love Ferrell, I just didn't buy him as a Woody Allen schmuck. Still, an enjoyable watch.
