pinto is ordinary by aryan on 25 Feb 2009

1st of all Pinto is quite ordinary looking to be very clear in India. 2nd she doess not really have a major part in the movie, so we have not seen any acting skills. 3rd she is just getting too much attention vs her true abilities which have not been tested. I salaam the little kids who I think did such a fabulous job in the movie and Anil Kapoor as well. These whites have weird notion about beauty and are just giving her too much attention, ofcourse woody allen - we know what he wants and which leg he is going to creep up. She must be ecstatic.

Freida's logic by Baatul on 24 Feb 2009

If its from a phirang, its got to be good. Doesn't matter even if he's a Dev Anand of English movies who believes he can romance teenager even if all his teeth have fallen off.

Woody Allen by David Phillips on 24 Feb 2009

Woody Allen continues to pepper his pathetic farcical 'love tangle' films with beautiful women in order to give them some redeeming feature. Beautiful as she is, she has shown her ability to act and could do better than to involve herself with this ageing, out of touch man. His movies demonstrate his ignorance and complete misunderstanding of the locations they are set in. They look like a tourist guide for the moronic.

Out of touch by Nisheeth on 25 Feb 2009

The latest movie of this 'out of touch' ageing man(vicky cristina barcelona) has fetched Penelope cruz her first oscar as actress in supporting role.Way to go Freida!!
