Review of Deconstructing Harry (1997) by Rose L — 09 Aug 2007

LOVE IT! When people were saying that Woody couldn't be original he took an all-star cast and made something in between his straight comedies and his visual comedies. This is one of my favourites of his modern movies.

The man is a genius and that can not be denied.
