Weird and Wacky comedy from Woody Allen! 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (7 October 2014)

Review: For some unknown reason, I really enjoyed this weird and wacky movie about a man trying his utmost not to war. The humour is quirky and way over the top, but funny in a Month Python type of way. Diane Keaton is also pretty funny alongside Woody Allen who plots to kill Napoleon so Allen doesn't have to go into battle. Although the storyline is completely ridiculous, it's very well written and entertaining throughout. The womanising, fast talking Allen, isn't as annoying as he is in his latter projects, which is why this movie really does work. Basically, it's silly humour which people will either find completely stupid or a work of art for its originality and warped sense of humour. Watchable!
Round-Up: This is some of Woody Allens best work, which I didn't find annoying or boring. It's a straight out comedy which doesn't focus on troubled relationships, like most of his work in his latter years. Although the movie looks dated, it's a timeless film which can be enjoyed nowadays, if you don't take the political subject personal. Diane Keaton played her role convincingly, even though the jokes were quite warped, but Allen always brings the best out of her. In all, if your a fan of Woody Allen's work then this has to be at the top of the pile, but if your not into his type of comedy then you will find this a bit too much. I'm yet to make a verdict of his work because I'm slowly going through his movies, but I did enjoy this film.
Budget: $3million Worldwide Gross: $20million
I recommend this movie to people who are into there Woody Allen movies about a womaniser who plots to kill Napoleon so he doesn't have to go to war. 7/10
