In this return to Manhattan – and to his old tricks – Woody Allen finds a perfect representative in Larry David.

It may be lesser Pixar, but it’s still head and shoulders above other family films this year.
Ironically, this Wayans brothers send-up of the dance-movie genre shows little comic rhythm.
