One of the greatest pleasures I have in film is imagining - and therefore internally watching — films that aren't there. Orson Welles is great for this since all but two of his projects were tinkered with by dummies and... Full review

Great fun, and one of Woody Allen's winners (albeit on a minor scale), reuniting him quite snugly with Diane Keaton. Allen and Keaton have such a lived-in rapport (with plenty of jabs but no fatigue) that the sight of them... Full review
Underrated Allen mystery delight

"Manhattan Murder Mystery" has the kind of uncomplicated humor that Allen was famous for in his pre-Annie Hall days. It is one of Allen's most charming, if less demanding ventures. You can tell that he is having a good time here.... Full review

It's one of those films you conveniently locate on your video shelf on that day of the year you feel absolutely sick. My video has "Mighty Aphrodite" recorded immediately after it, but my bedridden convalescent body never seems to get... Full review

You would expect something as wonderful, and funny as Annie Hall, but its just plain old dunb, and really not funny, most of the time, sometimes it manages to be, because of Woody Allens one liners.... Full review
Light comedy from Woody Allen

rbverhoef - imdb.com
This is a nice and light Woody Allen comedy about a death in a building that could be a murder. At least Diane Keaton's character thinks so, without really having a reason for that. She plays Carol Lipton, married to... Full review

Deseret News
Manhattan Murder Mystery" is Woody Allen's first flat-out comedy in years, and he's taken care to pack it very tightly with loads of laughs and even works in some effective suspense. Still, the film is so funny and suspenseful and involving that it's easy to overlook such distractions. ... Full Review

In Manhattan Murder Mystery, the actor Allen is again teamed up with Diane Keaton and writer/director Allen provides them with perfect material. The plot is clever and involving, and best not talked about. ... Full Review

DVD MovieGuide
While a fairly enjoyable flick, Murder suffered due to its dual nature. I liked the path Allen took, as he kept us in the dark about the true nature of the flick; Manhattan Murder Mystery had the potential to offer a succinct examination of the midlife point of a longtime relationship. ...

Unfortunately this is the most interesting relationship in Manhattan Murder Mystery Full of Woody Allen's middle-aged preoccupation's, Manhattan Murder Mystery has a reasonable quota of one-liners and artfully constructed scenes. ... Full Review
