June 6, 2009Woody Allen's first real directing job, because his first movie was just an overdubbed japanese film. It's got all the elements that Allen has been exploring in his 40 something films. It has some really funny scenes, but it's just a taste of his really great screwball comedies t...( read more)

May 3, 2009Woody Allen's first work is my favorite of his. The jokes are hardly ever groan-worthy, and they come fast and clever enough to drown the stinkers out. Left me feeling good and has the power to make me laugh even on repeat viewings.
-
April 28, 2009It was pretty funny, but in some instances it just tried way too hard. I don't like Woody Allen, I don't like a lot of his movies and I don't like him as a person or an actor. This movie was just scene after scene of carefully planned (but not so carefully pulled-off) jokes. It s...( read more)

December 6, 2008Hilarious, anyone else notice how the austin powers theme song was taken from this?
-
November 18, 2008Woody's Marx Brothers' shower.Upcoming features like Bananas and Interiors would show a variety of game shows and mind blowing critiques.The early comedy of that beloved shorty is compiled of loony characters,dedication to overexert humor,oh,and a responsive figure in the likes o...( read more)

September 29, 2008As with Steve Martin, Woody Allen's early films are his purest in comedic terms. This may be his least cinematic, least pretentious film--and one of his best for those of us who consider him a humorist first and foremost.
-
August 29, 2008The first Woody Allen film I ever saw. Hilarious play on the documentary style.

June 25, 2008Histerically funny. Woody was developing a career in cinema and this one is a good film full of great gags in a mockumentary style.
-
June 5, 2008Exactly what you expect in the typical Woody Allen film. Funny story, mediocre acting and stale ending, especially after such an endearing beginning/middle.
-
June 5, 2008Great early Woody film..laugh out loud..silly...funny stuff...enjoyable for any fan of the 'funny' side of Woody...
-
May 15, 2008Yes. It can become to much slapstick.
The first half hour is funny though. -
April 20, 2008This film is awesome, I enjoy the fantastic humor of Woody Allen, in this one he tried to find a solution to his problems but he dont have lucky and there comes the troubles. The only thing that he wants is "Take the money and run"
-
April 1, 2008This funny mockumentary have two elements for which I recommend it. First, the homage which is brought to comedy creators like Groucho Marx (the parents look or the character speaking) or Charles Chaplin (in prison when he need ti puck up one shirt remind me of Modern Times or t...( read more)

February 29, 2008I am not a fan of Allen's early slapstick, one-liners as much as I am of his later comedies and dark dramas. The idea of the story is interesting, but everything seems to rely on the imprecise timing of Allen's character, leading to some outrageous moments (being chased by a man ...( read more)

January 27, 2008typical Allen brilliance, clever and well done. beautiful girl, Woody's got taste. well, he did.
-
January 15, 2008Virgil: After fifteen minutes I wanted to marry her, and after half an hour I completely gave up the idea of stealing her purse.
Woody Allen's first big movie. It is done in the style of a mockumentary with hilarious dead pan narration.
This movie surrounds the life of Virgil ...( read more) -
December 18, 2007absolutely hysterical! oh so rich in comedy. laughter never hurt so much.
-
November 25, 2007This is Woody Allen's funniest movie. The gags are perfectly timed and the narration is perfectly straight-faced.
-
-
November 24, 2007I had great expectations for this movie, but at the end I was a bit deceived... Yes, it has some really funny moments, but I don't like the structure in episodes, and it lacks of the typical Allen's verbal humor... It's more like a group of Benny Hill's sketches...
-
November 12, 2007Comic genius. Apart from his early standup, this is Allen at his funniest. Shame it was all at the beginning of his film career

-
September 20, 2007It's hard to really review a movie like this; when you come to a joke-a-scene style comedy (think Airplane!) it's really a matter of, "Do the jokes work or not?"
Here, most of them work. I originally caught this movie only at the tail end, maybe a half hour or so. I think...( read more) -

September 11, 2007I love this movie!! LOL It's fun to watch. Silly - for sure - but that's what it's supposed to be.
-
August 16, 2007Allen's amusing first attempt to bring his comedy to the big screen (unless you count What's Up Tiger Lily?)
-
-
July 27, 2007Wasn't that funny. The editing, pacing and delivery of gags was quite stunted but even then one can see the trademark Woody Allen humour emerging.
-
-
July 7, 2007Humeur de premier niveau. Sa demontre la grande stupidite de l'être humain. W. Allen est un bouffon a son meilleur. Ceci est un comedie pour tous, c'est du meme si qu'un Gerry Lewis. Cependant avec plus d'audace, et de meilleurs acteurs.
-
-
June 27, 2007Allen's first film, it suffers at a few points from slapstick humor and sight gags. However, still one of the funniest films I've ever had the privilege of viewing.
