MCT:September 12, 2007Any 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.

MCT:September 9, 2007I've watched this movie every summer since I was about 15. I love Woody Allen, but I think I like this one for the scenery.

MCT:April 15, 2007Pas son meilleur, pas son pire. Une comédie romantique assez légere qui contient quelques moments qui font sourire, mais peu qui font vraiment rire. Malgré son titre, le film est loin d'être très sexuel. Intéressant toutefois de voir ce qu'Allen peut faire avec un environnement rural. Vaut le détour.

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.

As everyone knows, I'm something of a Woody Allen apologist, and it's possible that I'm being a tad generous with my rating of this mid-list Allen "comedy" that's admittedly few on laughs but rich in meditations on love and relationships. Indeed, I nearly docked the film a half-star for its wretched final scene, which nearly serves to undermine the message of the rest of the movie, but I gave Mr. Allen a respite. However, the film does have some stellar performances from an able cast that's more than able to handle Allen's quirky dialogue and lengthy monologues. The story involves three couples who spend a weekend at a quaint country house, but find themselves attracted to each other's partners, leading to some increasingly bizarre situations and plenty of illicit encounters. Mia Farrow has never been better, or looked lovelier, and it's a hoot to see Julie Haggerty (the female lead of "Airplane!") in a slightly more dramatic role.

This was one woody allen film I just couldnt get into. It wasn't bad and had some really funny moments. It just didnt do it for me.

Woody certainly experimented with many forms, many of which worked, and I thought this was one of them.

Zip.ca rental of A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy. I am gradually seeing all of Woody Allen's films.
It was cute. I would say midrange in terms of the quality of Woody Allen films.
It occured to me that I have never seen Julie Hagerty in anything but the Airplane! movies. All the performances were good in general, in particular the women (Mia Farrow, Mary Steenburgen). I could easily pick out the parallels from a Midsummer Night's Dream.
Tony Roberts was mildly annoying, but only mildly. My biggest gripe was the same one I had with Alice: If you are going to go into fantasy, go into it all the way and don't half-ass it. The only real mystical part was the spinning metal ball and the INCREDIBLY cheesy special effects at the end. Those totally soured the film for me.
The Opinion: OK, but not great.
