What I liked

Brian and Catherine played it as Woody would have loved. Seriously goofy.

What I didn't like

I’d love to see more of Woody’s works brought to life in this manner. Get to it, Brian! ;)

My overall impression

Full disclosure: I’m a fan of Woody Allen’s books (Side Effects, Getting Even, Horse Feathers). This one is a dramatized version of a story from Getting Even. Seeing it live was great. It’s smart and sly (early Woody has these absurdist descriptions that stem from the mind of a Jewish kid from Brooklyn), but also gave room for moments of broad comedy (also indicative of early Woody). Brian and Catherine played it as Woody. Seriously goofy.
