Not a big fan of Woody Allen, I have to say. I like some of his more recent work, like Match Point and Scoop, but most of his work is a bit too "old-guy-hooking-up-with-girl-way-too-young-for-him" uncomfortable. Yet on the other hand how can I not enjoy his sarcastic-nervous-jewish-guy act? haha His films can be so... odd... and this one certainly fits that profile. The [loose] plot is essentially dorky jewish guy (played by himself of course) gets awoken out of cryostasis to be manipulated into overthrowing an oppressive government. This film is awash with weirdness - slapstick humor, low-budget set pieces, gigantic vegetables, orgasm-machines, and a poetry-reciting Diane Keaton. Maybe quirky is the polite way to talk about it...
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
