Read MoreI have never been a Woody Allen fan, but after going to see his newest film, Scoop, which was wonderful, I decided to check out Manhattan Murder Mystery, which was highly recommended by a friend.
It is indeed a mystery, and unlike most mysteries you encounter these days, it is not overdone with ridiculous contrived suspense moments, or jarring cuts of music to jolt you. It is simply a murder mystery, nothing more, nothing less. The simplicity of the story really allows the characters and each situation to shine through.
Diane Keaton and Anjelica Huston are brilliant! It is very entertaining to see these middle-aged women, who otherwise try to appear very composed and put-together, getting all wrapped up in being busy-bodies/amateur sleuths and pretty much getting out of control.
This is definitely an easy view, perfect for those odd moods when you just don't know what you want to watch. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreWhat can be more fun than being with Woody Allen "on a caper"? Felt like I was with them thorugh-out the film. Wonderful cast with Woody's favorite backdrop - New York City & great jazz music. I enjoyed the direction of this film as much as the story itself. Why oh WHY must Diane Keyton insist on turning her collar up on her blouses and wearing the waistline of her pants all the way up to her neck?! Been doing that for 30 yrs now. That aside, this was a most wonderful example of Woody Allen's best. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Perhaps the best Woody Allen movie of all. Smart, witty, nicely paced, a great story, and some classic Woody schtick. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
