I have never seen a Woody Allen film before and I thought this would be a good start since it is a brisk 80 minutes so perfect to watch before bed. It was very charming and genuinely funny at parts. Jeff Daniels in particular is great in his double role. The movie took me aback though in how the character stepping out into the real world was witnessed by everyone and not just something that only the main character could see. The movie is definitely playing into pure fantasy with no connection to reality whatsoever. Ending is also surprisingly bittersweet. Fun fact Jeff Daniels started a theater company up here in Michigan called the Purple Rose Theater. Wonder if the people who came up with the idea of Last Action Hero were inspired by this film

I’m a Woody Allen fan, but I haven’t watched that movie in a long time. I remember liking it okay, but need to watch it again.

It's one of my favorite Woody Allen films. I definitely relate with the theme of using movies to escape from reality. The ending was definitely bittersweet.

One of my favourites and a reminder of what we lost when he started taking himself too seriously.
