It's not classic Woody, but it has a warmly human attractiveness about it.

It's one of Allen's lightest trifles, but it too contains enough funny jokes and fantasy moments to make it a small treasure.

A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy circles around the nuances of love-a web that both tantalizes and confounds Americans.
