Peter Chelsom's Town & Country is a pretty bad movie that wishes it were a Woody Allen film. There are funny parts, yes, but overall it falls short of anything meaningful or all that entertaining. It begins energetically and then falls flat. There are good performances from Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton, but that is not enough to save this mess of a movie.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't miserable throughout the entire film. There are some very funny Allen-esque moments. But there is not much value in Town & Country. The narrative becomes so unnecessarily complicated that all of the humor is sucked out of it by the end.
Woody Allen has written and directed 39 films. If you have seen each and every one of these, then you might want to watch Town & Country. If not, you should skip it.
