In this comedy of concessions, John
Cusack plays an aspiring 1920s playwright who must continually
compromise his latest work in order to see it produced. Woody
Allen's screenplay and direction are smoother than usual, and
he's managed to fill the movie with fun performances from several
actors who don't normally get the chance to shine--Dianne Weist,
Jennifer Tilly and Michael De Luca, to name a few. The laughs
are plentiful, and when all is said and done Allen actually manages
to throw in some meaningful commentary too. All things considered,
he's in great form.
