    Grouch, have you seen this film?

    There is a Marx Bros. part in Paris with Hooray for Captain Spaulding sung in French !

    All the invitees are wearing groucho moustaches and smoking cigars (including Goldie Hawn) and Woody exits the scene making a brief Groucho impression.

    The ending shot of the movie is
    மூவா? முதல்வா! இனியெம்மைச் சோரேலே

    Yeah, right after the party (I specially like Woody's makeover with the tache and cigar) comes one of the most beautiful ballet/duet ever shot in cinema. Wonderful direction by Woody. And Goldie Hawn flies so gracefully here. It's so magical. Perhaps that's the whole point of 'musical'.

    And a nod to what Chris Rock says, that this guy (Woody) happens to be at center of some of the most romantic scenes ever captured on cinema is one of life's great ironies !

    Actually I didn't like many of the songs. I mean, I could the lyrics were fun and all that. But even if he has stripped away the frivolousness and made it a 'serious' funny film, it would have still worked quote well for me.

    I didn't like the singing & dancing routine as much as the classical dance ballet near the banks (that also Paris, no?). All along it seems like something magical. But Woody closes it with policeman watching over (or not?). Like it all happens for real.

    But when I think of it, the musical aspect of it doesn't matter to me at all..

    Yes. The place where they had spent all night in the open once (when Woody claims to have decided he would one day live in Paris).

    The whole end-in-Paris had me laughing. It starts with Natasha Lyone's v-o about how winter is awesome in NY (she actually says that about the other seasons too earlier). And after some shots of snow in Central park etc. And then she goes "we are not a family that spends Christmas singing carols, we go to Paris and spend Christmas in the Ritz"

    :sheepishgrin: yes

    The penultimate line was awesome:

    I told skylar someone should write it up into a movie.
    She said, better a musical, else nobody would believe it

    Right. And the film seemed a bit banal at first that I was surprised how the family (who were introduced) became interesting right after Tim Roth and Julia Roberts entry..

    I did, PR. I thought the final was where Woody giving the finger to those who only recognise the Groucho mask and not the real talent. Title is a song from Horses Feather, not a great Marx Bros flick, but definitely awesome.

    The Indian release of Woody’s next film, “ You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger “ is slated for December 17. Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto plays the character of Dia, a mysterious woman at a window who becomes the object of a novelist’s (Josh Brolin) affections. The film has been shot in London and the casting includes Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, Naomi Watts & Anupam Kher.

    A few months ago saw Kher’s interview in one of the channels where he interestingly narrated a few incidents that took place during the shoot.
