Woody Allen's "Irrational Man"

Went to see Woody Allen's new film, "Irrational Man", with Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Parker Posey, at the Tower Theater. The first half hour is pretty bad (almost like a SNL parody of a Woody Allen film: a non-intellectual's idea of how intellectuals speak on an ivy-league campus, plus an implausible romance), but once the central plot starts it's absorbing and actually pretty good (because Allen keeps things simple). It's just that you have to tolerate Woody Allen.
