Woody Allen plays a dangerously neurotic Christ figure. Danny De Vito is healed after coming in contact with him and Allen sacrifices himself in a way so that Jason Biggs can achieve happiness and grow as a human being.
Jason Biggs as a struggling young comedy writer who has befriended sixtyish struggling comedy writer Woody Allen. Biggs is shacked with his bad girlfriend (Christina Ricci) whose mother (Stockard Channing) moves in with them.
This and Hannah and Her Sisters are the only two Woody Allen movies I've seen which involve the purchase of a rifle, but he's made so many he may have done this in others I haven't seen.
It was all dialogue. Quentin Tarantino said it was one of his 20 favorite movies made since 1992. I watched it because critics tended not to like it and it failed at the box office. Leonard Maltin rated it a "BOMB". I would tend to agree to Tarantino, though. I thought it was one of Allen's more enjoyable movies.
