QuickView


Story-line: your love life may be in a rut, Allan Felix, but help is on the way!
Pluses: an original premise in which magic realism is used to good effect, a very enjoyable screenplay penned by Woody Allen, solid acting and hilarious one-liners.
Minuses: none whatsoever. I only wish it was a little longer…
Comments: one of my favourite Woodys, PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM depicts his cinematic alter ego as a lovable, neurotic loser you’ll root for all the way. It’s so full of great scenes and dialogues that I’d like to store it permanently in my movie-playing mind. Enjoy this fun film about the one subject that touches all of us!
