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.
Thoughts?

It seemed like he was self-consciously going for that, with the opening credits

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.

You saying not to insult him with comparisons to Woody Allen is one of the worst posts I've ever seen on here.

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.
