Movie Review by AJ 
April 14th, 2006

Say what you will about Allen's more recent fare (excluding the acclaimed Match Point which I have yet to see), but he still knows what he's doing. Melinda and Melinda is a unique film whose story unfolds as a dinner conversation between two playwrights about the different values of comedy and drama. Thus, we get the same story told twice, one in a comedic fashion, one in a tragic fashion. It's an interesting idea, and one that Allen uses to good effect. The film is awkward at first, but once it becomes comfortable with itself, it is quite a joy, especially considering the talents of Will Ferrell and Chiwetel Ejiofor. You're guaranteed to never look at storytelling the same way again.
