Roaringly unfunny Allen-comedy. The worst of his early "funny" films.

Why is this so laugh out loud funny? One forgets that Allen used to be a slapstick master.

I love early Woody Allen. Woody joins the rebels of San Marcos to impress a girls (Lasser). He become leader of the country and impresses his girl. The snake bite first aid scene is a movie classic.

First half is pretty funny then it drags but ends nicely. Stallone is in this for about a minute which is hilarious.

Absolutely delightful movie. This is not yet a time Woody would hit his fans with his greatest hits but it gives you a clear image how Allen was moving to where he is now. Stallone cameo is a pure fun.

One of the earlier Allen films. It can tempt with the deft comedy scriptwriting that undoubtedly already peaked in 'Play it again, Sam'. Another fresh element is the still unpolished Allen himself, stunting through one scene after the other, self-sarcastically portraying his body and mind as too low, too immature and far from pretty. Also, it can tempt with Sylvester Stallone (it gets better: he has no lines), and a hilarious start scene. But, some fun political comments aside, that's about it.

freedom is wonderful. on the other hand, if you're dead, it's a tremendous drawback to your sex life!

Well, Woody Allen is cute no matter what. And I liked the pseudo intellectual girl.

Funny early Allen. No depth here, but who cares?

Welp

This in the end seems like a bit of an incidental work- it lacks the beauty and pathos of Allen's late 70s comedies and personally I didn't find it as sharply and rapidly hilarious as later parodies like Sleeper or Love and Death. Still has some really funny moments though.
