10/10
One of the best, and funniest, films of 1997
24 March 2000
Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry is arguably his best film in my opinion. True, there are his works in the 70's that are masterpieces, but this is definitely his best recent work. His script is one of his funniest, because this is a movie wham-packed with Jewish humor (which coming from Allen is a blessing).

The plot involves troubled writer Harry Block (played to the best of Allen acting) who along with writer's block, has trouble holding on to women, mentioning real life in his book, and meeting hookers who find the black hole to be their living.

It's not just him though, the other characters including Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Judy Davis, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Caroline Aaron and many others bring this film to a high pitched comedy. And since, me being Jewish, I understood much of the humor and laughed through most of it. Great entertainment. A++
