MCT:August 28, 2008Apart from its fantastic elements, Woody's script of Sam finds a deft blend of the comic and romantic.

Allan: What are you doing Saturday night?
Museum Girl: Committing suicide.
Allan: What about Friday night?
So this is what romantic comedy can be. Play It Again, Sam is a wonderfully charming and funny movie, if not a downright hilarious one. Watching it is a breath of fresh air, as it ditches the typical ?guy gets girl, guy loses girl, guy winds back girl? plot formula of many of the romantic comedies of today and just showcases the cleverness and goofy acting of Woody Allen. I haven?t really had much experience with the style of humor before, but it is a lot funnier than most of what comes out today and mixes witty and slapstick humor that almost always works. Woody Allen is the main reason why it works, none of the other actors really do much except set up scenarios for him to be funny. There is one particular scene where Humphrey Bogart is giving him advice as he makes advances with Diane Keaton?s character that is one of the funniest scenes I have seen in a long time. The Casablanca homage at the end is also a nice touch. If you?re sick of the boring romantic comedies coming out today or are a Woody Allen fan, Play It Again, Sam is for you. -
MCT:June 10, 2008I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.

MCT:April 21, 2008He didnt exactly direct this but he wrote it and starred in it and obviously told the director what to do a lot because its very similar to his pattened style.

Woody Allen as such an all around great talent, everything is well done in this movie, from the writing to the directing to the acting.

This isn't quite as solid as some of Woody Allen's other comedies. I can think of quite a few that I enjoyed more than this. This one seemed to wander aimlessly around until the end, when it suddenly all came together to create a lovely, lovely ending that paid tribute to one of my favorite movies of all time. So without the ending, it would have been a disappointing three stars. The ending moves it up to three and a half. Worth seeing if you're an Allen fan... Don't if you're not.

MCT:December 3, 2007Wow! I love Woody when he's in couple with Diane Keaton... The movie is so hilarious, so typical Allen and what about the whole game of quotes from Casablanca...!?! I love it!!

A wonderful contemporary take on Casablanca. It will make you laugh and cry. It is a wonderful movie!

im such a sucker for these films. complicated relationships with big time spins of humor. woodys character is like a perfect match of my life, so uber personal. but he jsut makes it soo much funnier. one the best.. and casablanca definatly deserves this kind of tribute..

Directed by Herbert Ross, this Woody Allen play was adapted for the screen by film star Woody Allen himself. Clearly, a pre-cursor to Annie Hall. Hilarious, simple and endearing, with an homage to Casablanca.

This is Woody Allen at his least self-obsessed and irritating. Easily his funniest and most charming film.
-

a distinct highlight of W.A.'s earliest work, here his scripting gets to combine his neurotic personality with his fanboy dedication to old film in a cleverly-observed jump-off from Casablanca. Allan Felix is painfully empathetic at times, bitterly funny at others. Note: it helps if you've seen 'Casablanca'.

Good movie...not "technically" a Woody Allen movie because he didn't direct it but he did write it...would like to do the play.
-
MCT:June 20, 2007Really disappointing. I didn't like it at all. I'm only giving it 2 and a half stars because I love Woddy so much.

A funny film written by Woody Allen. The story of a men who's woman left him and is searching for a new girl in his life. His neurotic character makes his job difficult. But with the help of Bogart he finds himself. Sometimes irritating, but with a delicious ending. It's a fine amusement time!

Allen at his finest - too often overlooked in this film. I feel soooo sorry for the men in my life who relate to this character.
-

Not Woody Allen's best.. But still entertaining. The biggest problem was that it became really boring as I kept watching it.
-

Woody Allen es un neurótico, es inseguro, es hostil, es torpe, es sarcástico, es... una versión famosa de mi persona. Será por eso que lo admiro tanto?
-
MCT:April 26, 2007
hilarious comedy from brilliant visual gags to the typical woody reparte. its also good to watch out for classic movie posters in the background.
-

Funny and Funny--not much more to ask for there--oh plus the sophistication and painfully funny honesty of Woody Allen's sexual insecurities!--Also, the best accident take ever with the record flying out the album cover!
-
MCT:April 13, 2007When hearing about this film I thought Woody Allen was going to splice together Bogart film clips with his film but instead we are given a Boggart impersonator (whose kept in the shadows becuase there's no resemblance) spouting moral boosting quips for Woody Allen's apprehensive lead.

This is a movie that seems almost made for me. Woody Allen's classic sense of comedy is well-represented throughout the film and his character is played flawlessly. And opening the film with the ending scene of Casablanca? I was hooked from that second on, even through Allen's horrific (albiet hilarious) Bogart impressions. Perfect movie for all of us who love Woody Allen and have at least one Bogart-themed poster on our wall.

Hysterically funny . . . a Bogart spoof that I could see over and over again and never get tired of.
