Review of Fading Gigolo

I am a Woody Allen fan. Perhaps those who aren't will like "Fading Gigolo" more than me. His role is secondary, about half his lines aren't even trying to be funny, and the other half that are trying, aren't anyway. There may be 2 or 3 laughs tops in the 90 minutes of this movie. As for the dramatic part, it doesn't work out very well either, because John Turturro and Vanessa Paradis are both miscast and unconvincing in their roles; Turturro also confuses "low-key" with "catatonic" in his performance, he looks as if he's miserable that he has to be there (even in a menage-a-trois with Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara!). He only smiles once, in the closing shot of the film. There are some nice shots of Brooklyn in the autumn, but all in all "Fading Gigolo" must be one of the worst films Woody Allen has ever been associated with. *1/2 out of 4.
