Director Woody Allen's Oscar-nominated comedy set in 1940s Brooklyn draws heavily on his youth -- a time when radio was king. Through vignettes woven together by music from the era, the film focuses on teenage Joe (Seth Green) and his houseful of relatives. His father (Michael Tucker) craves news from Europe, his aunt (Dianne Wiest) is obsessed with marriage and his mother (Julie Kavner) is appalled that Joe's bought a secret decoder ring.
Really good! Not very funny, but not boring and also is an average movie.. is above average for being so interesting, but without calling too much attention.
Certainly one of the best films of Woody.
An extremely rewarding Woody Allen film. It's one of my favorites. It also revels in the love of a bygone era. Radio. & does tribute by film. Even though Woody doesn't act he narrates.
