    Pretty funny but nothing special. woody has a priceless character.
  • March 28, 2007
    An enjoyably light comic homage to Shakespearian comedy, complete with an ensemble cast and many farcical misunderstandings. One of Allen's more pleasing and watchable offerings, more upbeat and less self absorbed. Jose Ferrer is great as the pompous Leopold.

    Muchos high concept, incredibly well put - Allen becomes a hero to all film buffs with this delightful package of intrigue.

    It's half an hour or so of okay and then it gets quite amusing and then just ends quite silly. Totally your call but I thought it was just funny enough for a 3 star.
  • September 12, 2007
    Any time Allen is combined with a masterful cameraman (Willis, Di Palma, or Nykvist) the result is worth watching, even if the movie, like this one, is just something he did for fun one summer.

    funny in a totally obvious, rushed and out there way. you can see from the film that he only took 2 weeks to write the script, but it's still great.

    Omg this was funny the first time I saw it -long ago. It is still funny!Woody Allen took the last century's views on sex and turned it into a fantastically funny display on film.

    A very unusual film, wonderful and entertaining. Woody Allen's creative and imaginative direction is a big plus. The cast is great, particularly Mary Steenburgen and Jose Ferrer. Not among Allen's best, but well worth a look. Good cinematography.

There doesn't seem to be a driving idea behind it, a confident tone to give us the sure notion that Allen knows what he wants to do here. full review
