Review of Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) by Tim L — 12 Sep 2009

Some Woody films I instantly love and can watch again and again, like Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors or Sweet and Lowdown. This is not one of those. Some Woody films I instantly dislike and can't wait to finish, like Everybody Says I Love You, Zelig or Cassandra's Dream. This is not one of those either. Somewhere in the middle are the films he makes that are just fun to watch, without necessarily moving you or blowing you away. The sort of film where you can chill out, do the ironing or whatever and just appreciate a few great one-liners from the man himself - especially when he's joined by Diane Keating. I would put 'average' Woody films like Play it Again Sam into this category, as well as this film. Fun story, funny lines, great chemistry from a good cast. Not amazing, but not bad either.

All-in-all, I very long-winded way of saying it was O.K haha.
