Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
The performances, however, are very enjoyable, with first honors going to Chazz Palminteri and Dianne Wiest.
-
Todd McCarthy, Variety
A backstage comedy bolstered by healthy shots of prohibition gangster melodrama and romantic entanglements.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Mr. Allen has drawn on autobiographical specifics in other films, but this may be the one in which he speaks most seriously from the heart.
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
If not bowled over, we're at least won over.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
One of Allen's best and most revealing comedies, as much a moral meditation as it is dazzling fun.
