 | For a fan of Woody Allen, this is far from his best effort. But, if you are not normally a fan, this might be one to check out. It has more of a modern comedy sensibility about it, even as it attempts to reach back to an earlier type of Allen work. The performances while not phoned in are sufficient. And the screenplay itself still has those Woody-isms that we all love or hate. Once again, Woody Allen has left his film as finished, no commentary or making of material exists on the disc... Just a sufficient widescreen transfer... |

| This, like the other Woody Allen movies I have seen, is basically him playing a blundering douchebag who has something to do with crime. It is full of witty lines, him screwing up or being screwed up and then it all ends up happily. A pretty good movie if your looking for one liner jokes or good insults, though I thought Curse of the Jade Scorpion was better. |

| Woody Allen and Tracey Ullman are so funny in this movie. Just the mention of his being a dishwasher at the start of the movie and her being a topless dancer when they first met always has me cracking up already. It takes new directions throughout the film and is funny from start to finish. |

| This is not a funny movie by Allen. The good part is that he really tried to make something light, enjoyable, happy ending, not using instrospectiveness all the time. Also, Allen himseld says, on the DVD extrar, that the main reason for the success of this movie was that Dreamworks promoted it with energy, a thing that seldom occurred before.
There are simply not enough jokes here. You'll feel comforable watching it, but not laughing. Two-third of the csat disappears before the middle of the movie (Michael Rapaport and Levitz), and at least we get an Elain May in top form.
This is more like a "study" than a real movie by Allen. |
