Makes Fritz Lang's Metropolis look like Roland Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow.

Uneven, but very funny.

Woody Allen's early films are always frustrating to me when he mixes this genuinely funny and clever dialogue with silly instrumental slapstick. Still, the jokes are thick and fast, and if you don't like one there's another coming right around the corner. Overall very funny, and Keaton is great.

I've heard it said that Woody Allen isn't "Ha Ha" funny -- that's bullshit. Sleeper is a marvelous example of "Ha Ha" funny. I split my gut watching this movie. It's absolutely one of the great comedies from the '70's.

Excellent idea with a not-so-wonderful realisation. Maybe I'm just not into so much slapstick scenes strung together. I was expecting more comedy about the dystopian society itself rather than Allen's physicality.

It is funny stuff with a clever and enjoyable script and a really good performance from Diane Keaton, though its moments of slapstick never really worked for me especially with the really garish accompanying music for those scenes. I liked it a fair amount.

this movie cracks me up everytime. my fave allen masterpiece.

I'm trying to make my way through Woody Allen's pre-Annie Hall catelogue. The only gems I've stumbled across are Play It Again, Sam, and, to a lesser extent, Love and Death, which are genuinely great. Sleeper is probably in his second tier of pre-Annie Hall stuff, but that's not saying much. The situational stuff is a miss, and the visual flair that Allen has in his later work is totally absent in Sleeper. Surprisingly, I found that Dianne Keaton's performance pulled the movie out of the gutter.

Woody at the height of his early slapstick. My favorite of his films.
