It's too bad the filmmaker wasn't able to infuse any of her Allen knowledge into the main character. When Alice's romantic misgivings become tiring, the film switches pace to a mischievous comedic caper à la "Manhattan Murder Mystery" or "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion". The film switches from a comedy of family entanglement to a romantic comedy to a comedic caper and back to a romantic comedy with ease just as Allen himself has done throughout his career. The filmmaker definitely knows her Woody Allen, which is, of course, a must for a film like this. And a movie dedicated to Woody Allen deserves much better. She is, unfortunately, a terribly written character. She would complain incessantly about being single but when someone would set her up on a date, she would try to assert her independence and say that she's a career woman with no interest in being with a man. Her sister is a lawyer and has a teenage daughter, while Alice is just a pharmacist working in their father's store, and gets sets up on dates by her parents, her sister and her perfect brother-in-law. She's in love with Pierre, but Pierre is married to her sister. The heroine, Alice Ovitz (Alice Taglioni), seems to get frustrated by that, but she's frustrated with her life in general. He complains about life, complains about death and offers her zero constructive advice. We have laughed at them all before, but there's a reason we still watch them – they're still funny. The beginning of the movie is the funniest with the poster version of Allen delivering all of the film's witticisms – meaning Allen's own witticisms from his own movies. Luckily the film got the rights to Allen's movies, and he responds to her with things he has said before. She lives in Paris, works as a pharmacist, is single, spends her days discussing Woody Allen movies and spends her nights discussing her life with Woody Allen – meaning, a poster of Woody Allen. "Paris-Manhattan" features a woman obsessed with Woody Allen, much like myself and many others are.
