Trivia:
This film permanently ended plans for two productions based on H.G. Wells' "When the Sleeper Wakes". One proposed production was by American International (long shelved due to the high proposed budget) and the other by producer George Pal. more

Quotes:
[last lines]
Luna Schlosser: Oh, I see. You don't believe in science, and you also don't believe that political systems work, and you don't believe in God, huh?
Miles Monroe: Right.
Luna Schlosser: So then, what do you believe in?
Miles Monroe: Sex and death - two things that come once in a lifetime... but at least after death, you're not nauseous.

Great fun, 20 January 2003

Wow, this movie was really a step forward from Woody Allen' s previous work. It's much funnier than "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex" and is a great satire. The best parts are definitely the ones where Woody is dressed up as a robot. They're just hilarious. Diane Keaton is also very funny when she tries to speak like a jew. A good comedy that ends too soon. 7/10
