Some useful insight here, but this is actually quite a complex work, with flashbacks and fictional versions of flashbacks intertwining. Is the conversation between Allen and Billy Crystal in hell a sort of homage to Heaven Can Wait? But very funny - Crystal telling him 'You couldn't kidnap anyone' cut to Demi Moore 'Kidnapper! He's kidnapped my son!'
It's one of his most distinct, different, experimental and funny films. I was amazed to find it's quite highly rated on IMDB as 7.3, but as usual, many audiences get it wrong - they think this is Woody Allen, when it couldn't be further from his actual personality.
