that's a great comment. "fulfilled" indeed he did fulfill and has done so for oh-so many decades, right?
About first loves, old loves, withered loves, and new loves, and about how magical it all is to the people in them. Being in love is like living in a musical, and these characters are living in that musical.
This light film was generally enjoyable but between some lackluster singing performances, a somewhat slow pace, and an uneven storyline, the film was only "okay."
A delightful souffle. An essentially warmer version of Allen's New York mileau dressed up in pseudo musical clothes, but it works a treat.
Too much fun not too love. My toes are still tapping! I'm so glad that Woody Allen continues to surprise me with little joys that everyone else seems to hate. :P
A nice experiment for a filmmaker that sometimes repeats himself, but it doesn't really work. The musical numbers aren't memorable, save for maybe the Marx brothers bits, and the story just doesn't cut it.
it's not nearly as good as it should be but it's got wonderful moments that make the film for me. The dance sequence with Allen and Hawn, the Groucho routine, the son that isn't getting enough oxygen to his brain. Priceless.
i love this film!! you can't watch it without walking away with a skip in your step
