Sometimes having a Woody is heaven

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2006)

This film is still the only COMEDY to ever win a BEST PICTURE Oscar. So in that light it is unique.
But obviously what makes it unique is that it is touching, warm, gentle and a genuine comedy masterpiece.
Woody Allen is one of Hollywood's most prolific talents. His first stroke of genius was Sleeper. But those who followed his career from TV writer to stand-up to actor to director will acknowledge that for all Woody's shortcomings, he is still a brilliant talent.
W.A. has said on more than one occasion that Bob Hope was his inspiration when it came to comedy. This makes sense since both men are legends in entertainment.
Woody's best work happened in the 70's. He's made some wonderful films (Everyone Says I Love You) since then. But this film was and will forever remain his best. Watch it with someone you love or just want to _ _ _ _. How dare you fill in the blanks that way. You should be ashamed of yourself.
