Delightful and incredibly hilarious. Reminded me of Coen Brothers style, by putting ordinary people in extreme situations, but it is the neurotic Allen's hand that gives tone to the film. I enjoyed the references to Double Indemnity and The Lady from Shanghai and LOVED Keaton awesomeness. I really had a good time.
One of the most enjoyable movie experiences I have had in a long time, it's suspenseful and funny and flirts with a few ideas it never follows, in a good way. There is always the pretense of cheating, it seems inevitable, but nope, murder mystery. The movie flows well and you find yourself angry at the characters for getting into the situations, but loving the results. A hidden gem of a film I'm glad I found.
“I can’t listen to that much Wagner, ya know? I start to get the urge to conquer Poland.”
Suprisingly suspenceful for a Woody Allen film but also very very funny, really great mystery comedy thriller with Woody Allen and Diane Keaton you cant go wrong.
I’m a huge fan of the chemistry between Allen and Keaton. They’re bickering in this movie is absolutely great, but sometimes the relationship drama is unnecessary. The only problem I had with the film is how Allen tried to balance the romantic side of the film with the mystery side of the film. It kind of gets muddled up and sloppy at points, but the comedy and dialogue is what makes the movie great.
Definitely not one of his best. I found the movie a bit lengthy and slow to unfold the plot. . Although some of the conversations and scenes are funny, and the middle aged couple jealousy is well depicted, I'm still left with the impression that the movie uncomfortably hangs between being a sort of comedy, a drama, a murder mystery, and in the end, none of them really. The dialogues are the movies only good point.
Woody Allen and Diane Keaton provide some hilarious scenes in this fun comedy. I found myself really enjoying this film, a lot more than I expected for some reason.
This movie is lots of fun, with a number of totally hilarious scenes like the one with Woody Allen and Diane Keaton stuck in the elevator, or again the telephone scene where they try to trap the presumed murderer by playing a crafted recording. Overall, it's light and lovely.
Essentially the film ANNIE HALL was going to be before Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman removed the murder element and decided to focus on the relationship element. Of course it isn't as good as Allen's masterpiece, but it's cool to see something similar to what might have been, and it is lovely to see Allen and Diane Keaton work their marvelous screen chemistry together again.
