Review of Bananas!* (2009) by Ivan M — 03 May 2012

One of Woody Allen's earlier, slapstick-based films, Bananas is hilariously funny and on the same comedic level as many of his other classics. As with the huge majority of comedies, the laughs come before the filmmaking art itself, which results in not exactly groundbreaking cinematography and the like, but a good audience will forgive that when appreciating that the filmmakers aren't attempting to produce Citizen Kane.

It's a comedy, and it does what it sets out to do, which is bring the audience to the floor with laughter.
