Although he had not been happy with Robin for some time, she who he feels is a bundle of Catholic repressions and neuroses especially when it comes to sex, Lee finally came to the conclusion about wanting a divorce upon attending his high school reunion and seeing a roomful of losers, he believing he turning into one of them if he didn’t make a drastic change. He gets a job working as a journalist for an entertainment magazine, while he writes screenplays on the side, he believing the latter a good stepping stone to finishing his third novel if the screenplays works out. The journalist job includes conducting interviews with celebrities, not only to who he can pedal his completed screenplay, but also what he quickly learns to who he has easy access to an abundance of sex with the “beautiful people”. Regardless, Lee enters into a relationship with Bonnie, a publishing house story editor who encourages him to complete that novel, which she truly believes will be better than the first two if only due to maturity. Meanwhile, Robin, who is not taking the divorce well, is convalescing at a Catholic retreat before she, with the support of her friends Jan and Cheryl, decides what next to do with her life, she believing that returning to teaching not the answer. During her search, Robin unexpectedly stumbles onto her own connection with celebrity when she meets television producer Tony Gardella, who hires her to be a production assistant with his company. Lee and Robin’s resulting stories take them in two different directions, one toward and the other away from the true happiness that was absent from their marriage..

Winona is, once again, the grounding character.
As once said about Beetlejuice, “Without Noni, the film would have floated off into the stratosphere.” Sure, this film is somewhat believable – another Woody Allen masterpiece – but Winona Ryder’s interpretation and presentation of her character, Nola, seems most believable. She’s a desperate movie extra, accepting of any role that comes her way, even if it means lying in bed with another woman… that was hilarious! She’s the most realistic, the most in-tune with reality… definitely the girl next door – or the girl I’d want next door, anyway.
Fifteen Minutes Too Many
Like “The Purple Rose of Cairo”, “Celebrity” leaves it’s central character sitting forlornly in a movie theatre, thinking what might have been. Unlike that fine film, however, this is a pretentious and shallow mess that never convinces and is rarely funny. Allen’s over-lapping ad-lib dialogue style runs rampant here with little scripted text. It’s just as well because the scripted lines sound hack written (“Who knew that angels flew so low?”). Branagh (standing in for Allen and almost imitating his put-upon demeanor and stumble-bum delivery at times) and co-star Judy Davis are both affecting American accents – fake number one. Other stars rush in and out of the picture like they’ve got plans elsewhere. After the first ten minutes, the audience will feel likewise. Phoney plot contrivances (writer with only one copy of a novel; bride runs from her own wedding) only make matters worse. Final skywriting scene says it all – “HELP”!
