Woody Allen's version of "Pygmalion" is not a moralistic flop like his Blue Jasmine, but it is, in words of one critic, "undercooked." Dialogues are stale; characters are underdeveloped. It is fair entertainment for boring Saturday evening; that's about that. Talents of Colin Firth and Emma Stone (I did not know she can act) are fit into cut-out characters of this movie. Because Ms. Stone is obviously too old to serve as Allen's romantic companion for the shoot, he hired three female assistants to Colin Firth, which appear only in one episode of the movie.
