Only Woody Allen could create an idea for a movie like The Purple Rose of Cairo. I say this because Woody Allen is a genius; the plot of Purple Rose was fairly complex, only Allen could have that creativity. The setting and characters were developed very well; by the end I knew who everyone was and where they were going. Performances from Mia Farrow and Jeff Daniels were pleasing, but nothing amazing. Though I really did enjoyed Daniels’ dual roles. The story/screenplay was very good, something to be noted. Purple Rose was very good, but at times seemed a wee bit shallow. I did enjoy the movie; it was (most of the time) very compelling.
