Threeish smirks are to be found within but be warned you must first tangle with a magician priest Dom DeLuise.

This could so easily be adapted into a story about Julian Assange and the Ecuadorian embassy. A lot of funny lines and some hilarious parts. I have such great taste in comedy!

Underrated and overlooked movie from Woody. After seeing that he wrote it in the 60's it made more sense since it is basically just like his comedies from the 60s and early 70s - just constant laughs. The priest character was really annoying though and the score suffers because of him. PS, I love Michael J. Fox.

The Woody movie you've only seen if you're in way too deep. Good performances from the man himself along with Fox and Kavner keep the plot from being too much of a grind, along with reasonably amusing shtick from DeLuise and some okay goofiness like Woody shooting a guy and Fox pushing the emir down the stairs. There's definitely not much to it outside of the whole novelty of it being a Woody Allen TV movie, but if you're enough of a looney fan to watch it you probably won't hate it.

Comfortable little afternoon movie, medium on laughs and memorable moments, far from Allen's best, but totally non-antagonizing.

It has a few really funny scenes, particularly the one in which Allen and Marge (Kavner, i mean) fail spectacularly when they try to assume fake identities. But overall, this was a slog.

WTF, when you see a trailer and know it's crap---this is it. Two of the most un-funny annoying people ever. Allen and DeLuise.

The script is hillarious but the cast doesn't deliver (only Fox but I'm being biased here). Has very funny moments and overall I found it to be a pretty entertaining film.
