Woody Allen moves to Spain and the results are both refreshing and entertaining. It's a vaguely Henry Jamesian story about two more-or-less innocent American women discovering love and sex among ultra-sophisticated European artists. Scarlett Johansson's third movie for Woody Allen, making her now one of his regular leading ladies (and muses), after Louise Lasser (1969-1972), Diane Keaton (1972-1979 and 1993) and Mia Farrow (1982-1992).
