This is Allen's best comedy


This is his most hilarious film. It is a perfect mix of slapstick and gags. The sci-fi allows for comedy of the absurd and uniquely creative stuff which would not have been possible otherwise. His other great films are "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (comedy/drama), "Annie Hall" (comedy/character studies) and "Interiors" (drama). However, for sheer laughs this one is his crowning and ultimate creation. very

i think it's very funny. My other favourites of his are Bananas, midsummer night's sex comedy, Manhattan Murder Mystery, small Time Crooks, and Scoop.

I've seen maybe 1/2 of his many movies, and I believe this is the only one that's made me laugh.
