A Wildy Fun Film

Bananas (1971)
Directed by Woody Allen, rated PG, 82 minutes

Bananas may be Woody Allen's funniest film, and it's an incredibly fun one at that. The film is about an oafish New Yorker who, after being dumped by his activist girlfriend, ends up involved in a revolution in a small Latin American country. The films is overflowing with absurd and hilarious jokes, and feels almost like a Marx brother's comedy. The plot is simplistic and ridiculous, but provides an interesting story for Allen to fill with wonderfully over the top jokes. Bananas is Woody Allen at his most charming and funny, and the films is preposterously entertaining. You'll like it if: You like absurd humor, Woody Allen, the Marx Brothers, Sleeper or The President's Analyst.
