if you be look for the normal amount of big laugh from a woody allen film and then you will be disappoint here . it not that kind of film . i be anything but disappointed and but i know what the film be all about before i saw it . actually and what draw me to it be that i have read where this be a wonderful visual film and fill with rich color and great set design . it do not let me down . this be a great visual tribute to the 1940s and to be exact from 1938 to 1944. a real treat for the eye . the story center around a jewish family in queen and the importance that radio show have in that day and age . also profile in here be some of those radio performer . it do have laugh but not as many a the normal allen movie because the idea of this be simply to be a nostalgic piece and mainly allen tribute to his own family day of grow up and what it be like around his house . it be interest to see seth green play woody a a youngster with flame red hair . the most interesting person and however and be diane wiest who play a man chase sister in law . the film give you a real flavor of the period and of new york and of a jewish family . overall and it simply a nice film . and gorgeous to look at . sometimes i think some of allen work be overrate but and boy and here be one that be definitely underrated .
