Pros: One of the few films where Woody Allen isn't super annoying. The plot is solid and the dialogue is good as is the acting and I'm glad that the film ended happily though Hannah (Mia Farrow) was incredibly naïve when it came to her husband Elliott (Michael Caine) true colors.
Cons: Because there are so many characters, it is hard to appreciate the solid development of Mickey (Allen) is a bit wasted as it is just stuffed in there with so many other plots. And of course, this just has to be about an acting family, people can never have real careers in films.
Recommend: I guess
Grade: B+
Side Notes:
-Mickey is a TV show producer and has a skit which includes child molestation, which is ironic as Allen turned out to have sex with his stepdaughter before she turned eighteen.
-It has got to be awkward when you marry your sister's ex-husband.
-It also must be awkward to have a crush on your wife's sister.
-Lloyd Nolan and Maureen O'Sullivan star as the parents and deliver great performances albeit in supporting roles.
-Despite the stacked cast only Caine and Dianne Wiest were Oscar-nominated though they both would win.
