Zoe Kazan has written a challenging screen play which looks at how male writers write female characters, then goes bigger - how men think about and treat women. It's quite serious, and made us both think of Woody Allen (who would have handled it very differently) in its attempt to pull off a complete fantasy (as such the ending is somewhat contrived - there as a crowdpleaser). Last seen a couple of years ago.
Paul Dano commendably plays it completely straight - his face is often really funny. This is a good actor. With Chris Messina, Annette Bening, Antonio Banderas, Elliott Gould and Steve Coogan.
