4/10
Average comedy! 4/10
14 October 2014
Review: This movie was quite funny in parts, even though Allen is doing some of his silly one liners again, but it not that bad. It's another one of those Woody films that are based around a troubled relationship and you can tell that Allen wrote it because of its warped wit. Diane Keaton tries hard to find Allen a girlfriend after his wife leaves him, but they end up falling for each other even though she is his best friends wife. All the way through the film, Allen is clumsy and not that great in the dating department, but with help from his imaginary friend, who happens to be Humphrey Bogart, he manages to pluck up the courage to chat to women. Personally, the storyline wasn't that great and Allen is babbling through most of the film, but if you don't take it seriously, it's just light hearted fun, in a Woody Allen type of way. Watchable!

Round-Up: Once again, Woody Allen teams up with Diane Keaton and Tony Roberts for this slapstick comedy. There performances don't really change from one Woody Allen movie to another so they weren't that surprising. This is yet another movie which proves that Allen's earlier work were much better that his latter projects, although some of the scenes weren't that amusing. This is definitely the more Charlie Chaplin side to Allen which you'll either love or just think it's silly. 

I recommend this movie to people who are into there Woody Allen movies about a keen cinema who falls for his best friends wife. 4/10
