It's been a while for Woody Allen. Although our extremely scientific office poll revealed that many people moderately enjoyed Match Point, with Vicky Cristina Barcelona a close second, it's been well over a decade since we've seen a classic Allen hit, a la Deconstructing Harry or Bullets Over Broadway.
