Review of Play It Again, Sam (1972) by Dominic S — 27 May 2013
Woody Allen's early films, especially the ones co-starring Diane Keaton, will always be a treasure to Hollywood and all Woody fans.
This film of his is more special than others because uses an older and classic movie to create comedy.
Play It Again Sam is about Allan, a movie critic who is particularly fond of Casablanca. He treats Humphrey Bogart as a teacher or a guide of some sorts to pick up women or at least to strive to act to pick up women. Humphrey Bogart is his alter ego in a way; he talks to the character of Humphrey Bogart in his head when needed.
Allan just got divorced from his wife and now he's trying to learn from his mistake of being dull to find another woman.
On his first date, which is a blind date, he is so nervous that he becomes entirely clumsy all around his house and it is hysterical.
This is one of the best romantic comedies I have seen in a while. I can't wait to watch for Allen/Keaton films.
Play It Again Sam, I give you a 100%.
