Very funny film. Not very deep, not very significant, not very complicated. In fact this is set in and around a 1940's insurance office that looks very much like the more usual newspaper offices of the original screwball comedies. And that's what this is no more and no less a simply plotted, single central devise and lots and lots of great one liners. Woody Allen and Helen Hunt have the central roles of the two warring office colleagues who suffer the repercussions of a hypnotic stage act. Both leads are superb and if Dan Aykroyd is a little pedestrian this is hardly noticed with all the other back up throughout the cast. There are films that come out seemingly on a weekly basis and we are assured they are the funniest and they are not, Woody Allen turns out yet another that is and rarely gets the credit he deserved. The man makes funny films.
