Movie Haiku:After the high of BLUE JASMINE, Woody falls back to his same old May/September shtick, this time embarrassing Firth (54) in a "romance" on the Riviera with Stone (26). Visual design & soundtrack are both perfect--as always--but the plot line is so predictable it was hard to stay awake. Jan kept hoping our hero would realize the gal for him was Harden... but alas :-(
