This is supposed to be really witty and make spoofs of russian literature. If so, I'd have no idea. Maybe to very well read people this is funny, but to an average person, it is mediocre. Surprisingly weak and joyless Woody... Full review

One of Allen's best pure comedies. Takes on many Russian writers so having some familiarity there helps with your enjoyment. Wonderful comic performances by Keaton and Allen, and many out loud laughs.... Full review
