Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

ellisrquinn I may have an unpopular opinion on this, but this is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen in my life. I'm not criticising you for enjoying this film, as humour is subjective and some people like Woody Allen's style. But for me this film is bland both comedicly, Narrativley and Visually. I feel like I need to talk about how much of a disaster this film was.Although the sped up fight scenes are a decent homage to the Chaplin Era comedy; I found the scenes overly long, Pointless and annoying. These scenes did not create humour and stuck out like a sore thumb. They seemed to incorrectly Juxtapose the other styles In this film.The humour only managed to make me laugh a few times, as a few rare jokes were quite clever. Other jokes were delivered incredibly poorly by the actors, or the jokes were terrible, so the lines had no comedic effect at all. The delivery and presentation of the humour mostly failed.The visual style is bland and boring. It's not terrible, it's just mediocre and not very inventive. It follows the boring shot, reverse shot format. However, there is one scene with an interesting style (The Cinema scene).The story is very unspecial, it's basically just your average dystopian future (with only a few interesting ideas). Also several parts of this film are completely pointless; and if they were to be removed, nothing would have changed. There is a whole ten minute section where the main character is brain washed, only for it to be reversed minutes later. Thre is also a part when the main Character climbs out a window for no reason at all, only just to go back around into the room he climed into. The main plot only begins to happen in the final act, meaning that the first tow acts were entirely pointless filler. The pacing in this film is also terrible throughout the whole film.Overall this film is a complete waste of time. It is boring and unfunny. I feel like it failed in everthing it attemted. Some people may like this, but in my opinion, don't even waste your time watching it.

SnoopyStyle Miles Monroe (Woody Allen) was frozen in 1973 and rediscovered 200 years later. He's a clarinet player who ran a health food store. He has been revived by anti-government scientists who opposed the dictatorial leader. The world is completely changed. The rebels want Miles to infiltrate the leader's mysterious "Aries Project" because he has no identity. When the authorities capture the rebels, Miles escape into this futuristic world. He disguise himself as a robot butler in socialite Luna Schlosser (Diane Keaton)'s home. He later kidnaps her and fall in love. It's outlandish, silly and most importantly fun. There is wacky slapstick comedy and pointed commentary. The 70s style sci-fi and the pop culture references are dated. Nevertheless, it's still loads of fun broad comedy.

Jackson Booth-Millard I knew that film was written by, directed by and starred Woody Allen, I didn't know anything about the concept or the reason for the title, but was definitely interested because of it featuring in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. Basically Miles Monroe (Allen) is a health food store owner and jazz musician who has woken up in the year 2173, he was cryogenically frozen in 1973 unintentionally during a minor surgery, scientists Dr. Melik (Mary Gregory) and Dr. Orva (Bartlett Robinson) who revived him are part of a rebellion. Miles is eventually fully recovered, and because his history and records being destroyed he is an unknown, and therefore the rebels want his help in infiltrating and uncovering a 22nd Century police state plot called the "Aires Project", but before they can make plans the authorities arrest the scientists, with only Miles escaping. He manages to get away undetected disguising himself as one of the many servant robots in a small storage space, to be sent off to a home where one is required, he ends up as a "robot" butler in the house of socialite Luna Schlosser (Diane Keaton), and he only reveals his true identity when she wants to have his head changed. She initially wants to turn Miles over to the authorities, so he kidnaps her and take her on the run with him as they make their way to the location of the Aires Project, slowly they fall in love with each other, but then he is captured and brainwashed to become a happy member of society, while Lunsa joins the rebellion. The rebellion manage to get Miles back and reverse his brainwashing, he remembers all of his past and joins them, but he becomes jealous seeing Luna kissing rebellion member Erno Windt (John Beck), she believes in free love, and in the world sex is done with machines, but they do reconcile. They reach the place where the Aires Project, they find out the dictator that rules the police state was actually killed in a bomb blast ten months ago, all that remains of his body is his nose, the plan is to clone a new body for the leader using the DNA of this nose. Miles and Luna disguise themselves as doctors and manage to sneak unnoticed into the operating and cloning facility where the nose is being held, they steal it and Miles "assassinates" the dictator throwing the nose under a steamroller, and in the end the couple question their future together, Luna thinks people cannot have relationships due to chemical incompatibilities, but he dismisses this, he believes in sex and death, the two embrace. Also starring Marya Small as Dr. Nero, Chris Forbes as Rainer Krebs and Douglas Rain as Evil Computer. Allen gives both a goofy and as usual neurotic performance as the man from the past trying to fit and change the future, Keaton four years before her Oscar winning role in Annie Hall is a great relatively eccentric love interest. There are terrific homages to Sir Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, with fantastic slapstick, and the script is witty as well, it is silly, but in a hilarious way, the highlight is absolutely Allen disguised as a robot with the silver head and his glasses contrasting brilliantly, a wonderfully funny science-fiction comedy. Very good!

gridoon2018 "Sleeper" is packed with visual (at times it's almost like a tribute to silent comedy) and verbal gags, but personally I don't think it is quite as funny as "Bananas", or quite as imaginative as the best sketch (the closing one) of "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid To Ask)" (although the orgasmatron and the shaving-mirror scene come close), and the ending feels rushed. However, it is a very important part in Woody Allen's evolution: up to that point, his films were mostly "Woody against the world"; here, he's dancing (metaphorically, but sometimes also literally!) with a partner - and what a partner! Diane Keaton, at her sexiest and fastest, is almost like a female Woody Allen at times - that's how well-synchronized their teamwork is. Woody is so confident of Keaton's abilities that he even gives her a couple of wild comic scenes all to herself, like her Tarzan imitation, and he sometimes lets himself become the butt of her jokes ("You're dealing with one of the greatest minds you've ever encountered" - "Yeah, and his isn't so bad either!"). Apart from their heavenly pairing, the strongest asset of "Sleeper" is its wonderful jazz score. *** out of 4.
