Reviews

Time Out -
It isn't the first time death has figured in an Allen movie, but the way he grapples with it here (leaving each character at a moment of irresolution comparable to staring down the man with the scythe) is much more potent and direct.

Movieline -
Minor but still quite enjoyable. And like other minor Woody Allen pictures it becomes more interesting when placed in their larger context.

Boxoffice Magazine -
Bottom line: It's a good one, fresh, funny and vintage Woody.

|
The New Yorker -
Much of the writing is good, and the acting is superb, but the constant wrangling wore me out at times.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
The best scenes are hilarious sessions between the great Gemma Jones and the wonderful Pauline Collins as a charlatan fortune-teller.
