If this film had released 20 years ago, it would have probably deserved a higher rating. What you get from viewing this is a well produced, well written although highly unoriginal movie carried on mostly by Woody Allen and his dialog, not to mention the rest of the cast. Problem is that it is really more unoriginal than previously mentioned and you'll be quite familiar with what all happens during the movie. The only difference would be some funny circumstances. The ending is quite anticlimactic and very disappointing where the villain gets caught so very easily without him nor the police actually doing anything at all. This movie is perhaps worth watching once on TV but I'm not too sure if one should spend money on it in the cinema.
