Not one of Allen's best, the comedy can be very hit and miss, not enough hits to be up there with his other stuff. Although at only 80 minutes it doesn't outstay its welcome.
Some of his prime one-liners paired with his typical really fun social commentary.
A little slower for those not familiar with communism in central America during the 60's, but funny nevertheless
Trying to get over his breakup with Lousie Lasser, nebbish Fielding Mellish (Woody Allen) winds up in the fictional banana republic of San Marcos, eventually (and reluctantly) rising to the position of El Presidente. From the opning scene (with Howard Cossell covering the political assassination of San Marcos' ex-Presidente for "Wide World of Sports") it's apparent that Allen's out to take the audience on an anarchic, any-gag-for-a-laugh ride that results in one of his most consistent series of chuckles.
One of the funniest films I've ever seen. Several scenes had me in hysterics I was laughing so hard. It proves why Woody Allen is my favourite director: he can do offbeat social commentary, chamber drama and, in this case, outright hilarity. What a master he is, and what a masterpiece this is.
