Very.
This confusion is so good that I spent my afternoon in a good mood after watching this.
It's nice to see Allen playing a character not so typical of his usual persona. Danny is one of his most genuine, loveable characters.
It has its ups and downs. There are moments of pure Allen gold, and even though the performances are a tad too heightened (lookin' at you Farrow) and some of the wackiness gets a bit out of control, it is the astounding simplicity of sequences such as the ending, that make it so worthwhile. Danny Rose is a wonderfully sympathetic character, and the framing and lighting are top notch. One of Allen's better films.
