Film review: 'On the Rocks' is a straight-up martini, tart and refreshing:
It's become unfashionable to express fondness for vintage Woody Allen films, but think back to how pleasurable they could be before all the off-camera baggage muddied those memories and you have some idea of the warmly satisfying experience of.
Laura has long since formed her own family, with her husband Dean and their two adorable daughters, elementary school-age Maya and toddler Theo . But domesticity in their fabulous SoHo apartment is stifling her sense of self and her creativity, judging by the lack of progress on a book project. In a moment of vulnerability that she will come to regret, Laura confides in her dad, who validates her doubts about Dean, based solely on his first-hand knowledge of men's natural disinclination for monogamy."The bangle is a reminder that women were once men's property," Felix tells her while appraising the gift on her wrist from Dean.
Taking charge of her possible marital dilemma over Laura's objections, Felix at first suggests standard sleuthing moves like checking Dean's phone. But when that turns up nothing conclusive, he persuades her that the situation calls for serious detective work.owes to sophisticated Hollywood comedy-mysteries of the 1930s and '40s — Coppola specifically citesas an influence — Felix insists they follow Dean on a company dinner.
The movie shifts pleasingly into full-blown caper mode when Dean announces he’s going on a company trip to a Mexican beach resort and Felix insists they follow him, resulting in a humiliating discovery for Laura.
