Not Allen's most gripping film, but perhaps Mia Farrow's best performance under his direction. Sweet with a few bizarre laughs. B-

This film had everything you could have hoped for in a Woody Allen picture, or movie in general. Not only did Allen create a hilarious film, but it carries an emotional weight as well. Highly recommend.

Seen a lot of Woody's films, and I think this might be the most emotionally impacting out of all of them. It's also the only one in which I actually care about or respect the character that Woody portrays. What an ending. I'll never forget the final Thanksgiving scene. Loved it.

I can't think of a sweeter character played by Woody Allen.

Woody Allen's Broadway Danny Rose is a shaggy dog story about a theatrical manager whose clients are oddballs and losers with a tendency to drop him if they ever make it big. Your ability to appreciate the comedy is largely dependent on your liking Allen's shtick, as he plays the title character. I'm about neutral on that myself normally, but it's a little harder to take than usual here. I can enjoy the knowing showbiz satire and the character's passion for the people he feels responsible for, and the anecdotal structure works well, but I have a hard time connecting with the lead performance. It's too manic to actually feel natural. Not sure why it needed to be in black and white - is it a nostalgia thing? Are those days over? - so it neither adds nor detracts from the whole. Maybe I stopped giving the film my undivided attention after Allen fingered a 12-year-old's collar bone in an early scene. Brrr. THAT hasn't aged well.

goodhearted, tender, radiant, and mildly funny – not in the book
