Reviews for Broadway Danny Rose
Top Critic Warm, funny and steeped in affectionate characterizations -- this is Allen at his most sprightly.
08/12/08
Although the film contains many of the great verbal jokes that are Allen's forte, the visual wit and the sentimental drama fall a bit short.
08/12/08
Allen's perfect as a small-time, good-hearted Broadway talent agent, giving his all for a roster of hopeless clients.

Top Critic
Like Hannah and Her Sisters it strikes a perfect balance between structure, pathos, and sheer laughs.

The jokes are firmly embedded in plot and characterisation, and the film, shot by Gordon Willis in harsh black-and-white, looks terrific; but what makes it work so well is the unsentimental warmth pervading every frame.

All of this is accomplished with wonderfully off-the-wall characterizations.

A paean to the loveable losers in show biz who give it all they've got but still cup up short.
