"I have always loved this film. It is a charming look at the nostalgia of classic films from the view of an ardent fan. A woman who loves watching movies in the Theater climbs into the movie screen to try to live a life with her favorite movie character. The cast is perfect for this 1940's era fantasy romance."

"I didn't know this was a Woody Allen movie. I found it at dollartree and read the premise and it intrigued me. I like the nostalgia from the theme of golden age classic movies. I've always enjoyed Mia Farrow's performances since I was little and first saw the cartoon 'The Last Unicorn' The movie was very enjoyable but the ending left me asking questions. I really enjoyed Jeff Daniel's performance. I would recommend this movie but with a warning that the ending may not be what you think it should be. "
