A fantastic and affectionate spoof of Russian Literature

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2000)

Without a doubt one of the funniest movies Woody Allen has made. Scattershot references to Russian history and literature, enough slapstick to make the Marx Brothers seem subtle, and more than enough sight gags to rival 'Airplane!'. If I want to introduce a friend to Woody's films, and prove once and for all what an amazing comedian he can be, this is my choice every time. The whole cast is perfect, especially Diane Keaton, who seems to be having the time of her life... Highly recommended!
