Movie Haiku:Has Woody Allen moved to Tel Aviv? No, but Macky’s his Israeli doppelganger – a neurotic writer whose midlife crisis expresses itself in seriocomic domestic entanglements counter-pointed by an unending series of sexual fantasies. Lots of good bits, but the most fully realized character is the kid caught in the middle.
