Woody Allen, EW, and Kvetch
Was just reading the review of the new Woody Allen film “Whatever Works” in the latest Entertainment Weekly. First thing I noticed was that they gave it a “C”, pretty disappointing given that I love Larry David and like Woody Allen.
A few sentences into the article and I see they use the (very academic) term “kvetchy/funny” to describe Mr. Allen’s typical protagonist. Go EW! I obviously like this because our site is called Film Kvetch. In case you weren’t aware, “kvetch” is a yiddish word which more or less means complain. We kind of like to think of it as criticize.
Love to see the word “kvetch” in a major publication, hate to see “Whatever Works” get a poor review.
