Some of it hilarious
17 June 2015
Allan Felix (Woody Allen) is a neurotic film critic and loves Casablanca. His wife leaves him and his couple friends Dick (Tony Roberts) and Linda Christie (Diane Keaton) try to set him up. His hero Humphrey Bogart drops by to give him advice and so does his ex-wife Nancy. He has trouble dating normal girls and the crazy ones are crazy. So he ends spending most of his time talking about girls with Linda.

Some of it is hilarious. The incompetent dates are funny. I don't laugh as much with the fantasies. As a rom-com, it doesn't hit all the right notes. Dick has to be more of a dick for the audience to root for them breaking up. Of course, he's trying to re-engineer Casablanca and that's not Dick's role. Woody and Diane continue to have great chemistry. This has some hilarious moments and mostly works.
