    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 polit...( read more)ical 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 Allens "early funny ones" that he has treated with such disdain for the past two decades. Well excuse me for prefering to laugh at funny jokes, rather than listen to an absurdly wealthy and inexplicably well respected kiddy fiddler whinge about his "problems".

    I haven't seen it in a while but I remember liking it.

    Sloppily made but somehow endearing, there was a lot of clever absurdity and a whole lot of random nonsense. I laughed, I didn't cry, and was glad it was short.

    Parts are very funny but it's too hit and miss to be a classic
  • September 30, 2009
    A hit-and-miss collection of Woody Allen gags.
  • September 18, 2009
    Hilarious Woody Allen start. Unforgettable gags. Worth watching at least once.

    "This just in: The National Rifle Association declares death a good thing."

    Woddy Allen inadvertently becomes the leader of a rebellion and takes over the country of San Marcos. Allen continues with his very slapstick style of comedy that sets the tone of his early films, probably because of his background in stand-up. There are some very funny moments, ...( read more)but Allen doesn't quite perfect this genre until Sleeper.
