Movie Haiku:Turturro wrote, directed & stars in this preposterous film about a mild-mannered Manhattan florist who agrees to become a gigolo when his elderly friend (Allen) sees an opportunity for some "easy" cash. And yet the JT/WA banter is so charming & the women are all so delicious that it is almost easy to ignore the plot holes & just drift along on the terrific sound track.
