“Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a postcard trifle about two American girls (British newcomer Rebecca Hall as Vicky, and Scarlett Johansson as Cristina) on a summer vacation complicated by the amorous attentions of local painter Juan Antonio (mischievously played by Javier Bardem).
Juan’s bi-polar ex-wife Maria Elena (Penelope Cruz) brings a sense of danger into the mix.
The movie compulsively hits fast-forward every time Woody interrupts the action with voice-over narration from an extraneous male narrator, but is nonetheless an improvement over his last film, “Cassandra’s Dream.”
Ho hum.
Rated PG-13. 96 mins.
