Amazon.co.uk Review

One of Woody Allen's best films of the 90s, Bullets Over Broadway stars John Cusack as a virtual Woody surrogate, a neurotic, Jazz Age writer whose new play sounds wooden and unrealistic to a low-level mobster (Chazz Palminteri) assigned to watch over his boss's actress-girlfriend (Jennifer Tilly). When the hood starts contributing better story ideas and dialogue than what the official playwright can conjure, questions (not unlike those of Amadeus) about the price we pay to make art at the expense of other responsibilities are intriguingly raised. Palminteri gives a very interesting performance as the enforcer waking up to the desperate (and almost feminine) demands of his own creative psyche, and Dianne Wiest (who won an Oscar), Tracey Ullman, Jim Broadbent and Jennifer Tilly are very funny together playing the ensemble cast of Cusack's play. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars great performances!, 28 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Bullets Over Broadway [VHS] [1995] (VHS Tape)
why jennifer tilly did not win an academy award for her part is beyond me , this is easily her best performance. this movie makes me howl with laughter every time i watch it. diane wiest's line "don't speak" has become a running joke in my house. recommended, recommended, recommended. if you like comedies don't miss this one! woody allens genius is at its peak . fans of 1920's music will enjoy the soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars No, don't speak! Don't speak!, 5 Oct 2004
Bullets Over Broadway is one of Allen's most accessible films. The intellectual and (deliberately) pseudo-intellectual debate is still there, but even Woody doesn't pretend too much. This isn't a film about exploration, it's not a film about philosophy, it's above good and evil - it's all about laughs.

The "Allen Character" in this film is Cusack, a playwrite whose mass of neuroses drives the engine of the film, but it's Dianne Wiest who steals the film. Playing an aging actress obsessed with her own greatness, Weist manipulates Cusack at every turn and turns in a performance worthy of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar she received in '94.

The emsemble cast - and Allen displays a skill with ensemble casts that can be ranked alongside Robert Altman's - shine, glitter and sparkle with lunacy. Broadbent as the compulsive eater, Ullman as the hysteric animal lover, Palminteri as the homicidal hitman turned co-writer and the others are all brilliant.

Woody Allen has to be amongst anybody's list of the ten greatest comedy film makers of all time. Bullets proves conclusively however that Allen is a much better writer and director than he is an actor - though he's still a pretty good actor.

Bullets is one of my favourite Allen films and deserves a place in the DVD collection of everyone who enjoys wit and the absurd. Don't speak, just buy it (and that joke will become clear to you when you do).

5.0 out of 5 stars just woody !!, 11 Jul 2006
By O. S. Christopoulou "crosshawk" (athens, greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is a perfect movie, one my favourites. it's nothing more than a conventional woody allen movie but it has a mysterious quality that raises it up to heaven. a well written script, a woody allen direction, great perfomances by fabulous actors, those are elements that made a good movie. and woody in "bullets over broadway" has brought them all together ! i' m sure that almost everyone would enjoy this movie. have fun, especially if you like woody allen.
