Woody Allen is an author suffering from writer's block, haunted by memories of his characters, who are based on people in his real life. Those people are very angry about the way he portrayed them and spend a lot of time yelling at him about it. He doesn't really seem to care and is more interested in making it to an awards ceremony in his honor. Crude and vulgar "comedy" is Woody Allen at his worst, with a self-absorbed lead character obsessed with sex.
