This slightly uneven, but often hilarious, Woody Allen outing delivers the goods. There are some memorable bits, which are significant of his comic style. The one involving the chain gang, I'm sure, will always be remembered. Of course, some of the bits are too far-fetched and cartoonish to be funny, but Woody's routines often work and I can't lie that this movie is extremely fresh and original. I just watched it recently, and was laughing my head off, so I know it's not one of those outdated comedies.
I've seen funnier Woody Allen movies, but I would still recommend it for all those who are curious of his early work--like I am. And for something that was made when he was still an up-and-coming filmmaker, it was done extremely well.
My score: 7 (out of 10)
