Reception
The film received generally poor reviews from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that the film received 47% positive reviews, based on 130 reviews.[1] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 46 out of 100, based on 37 reviews.[2]
The film was a flop in American theaters, with ticket sales under $5 million. As with most later Woody Allen films, it had more success internationally, with a worldwide gross of $14.6 million (oddly mirroring the plot of the film).[3]
It opened the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
In the United Kingdom, it was the first of Allen's films not to receive a theatrical release and has not been released on DVD or in the cinemas as of 2007.
