“The Creatress” (*1/2 out of four) was an irritating comedy about a young best-selling author (Lindy Booth) who is thrown to the wolves by her publicist (Fran Drescher) and suddenly finds herself on the outs with critics and audiences and has to fight her way back to the top and restore and reclaim her reputation. Throwback to early-period Woody Allen is missing two crucial ingredients: charm and laughs and thus it rings false at almost every turn. Drescher’s whine and accent are kept to a minimum here. Director Peter Bogdanovich has a small but key role here as a book critic.
