First of all, all Woody Allen fans, dont jump at my throat. I mean no disrespect & of course, Allen has made, & continues to make, some of the best movies ever & Radnor's films are not of the same caliber as, say, Annie Hall or Deconstructing Harry.
But what I mean is, there seems to be many similarities in Radnor's two films & Allens work. Things that struck me were: the artsy, intellectual type protagonist, the obvious tributes to New York, the fact that both films are romantic comedies and so on.
There are differences too: Radnor comes of as much more optimistic than Allen.

Please don't insult Josh like that. No disrespect to the Woody fans, but hard as I try, I can't make it through most of his films. I wish I could, I'm sure I'm missing out on something, but I just don't connect to it. Same goes for Monte Python.

I see more Ed Burns or Eric Schaeffer, though they are two others who are kinda trying to follow in the footsteps of Allen, stories with a more inward focused and self reflective if not outright narcissistic endeavor.

Radnor just did 2 movie now and its not really good to compared with Allen which is I love his movies so much. Yeah, there is an Allen's feel in his movie but just noticed after you post this.
