Bullets Over Broadway
Big-city mobsters and the Broadway stage collide hilariously in this side-splitting, all-star comedy that has audiences and critics rolling in the aisles! John Cusack stars as David Shayne, an idealistic young writer who'll do anything to get his first Broadway play off the ground - even if it means teaming up with the mob! Surrounded by a wacky cast of characters, including a gangster's ditzy girlfriend, a mob hit man, and a tipsy actress, Shayne's got to pull it all off before the curtain falls, and the bullets start to fly!

Is that Rob Reiner? Yes it is. Is that Harold Ramis? No it's not. Is that Mary Louise Parker? Yes it is. Is that Woody Allen? No it's not. Is that John Cusack? ...Kinda, I guess. I mean, technically, I think. Is that a masturbatory film about film? Yeah dawg, it totally is.Best film of 1994 (yes, better than Pulp Fiction) - CanCinephile
Woody Allen is one of my favourite directors and he remains practical in a moribund Hollywood because he is a master of his own genre. He has given us variations of comedy throughout his career, from the peculiar comic stylings of Zelig to the bitter sweet comedy of Annie Hall. With Bullets Over Broadway, Allen gives us a witty and clever version of the comic masterpiece we have come to expect. The film is not hilarious or outrageous, but it has no intentions to be. Instead, Bullets Over Broadway intends to be smart and provoking, shining a light on the inner workings of the artist and the person who thinks he’s an artist. It’s a film about the imprudent notions of character that many of us have within and about self-denial in the most extraordinary of situations. It’s a film about the will to power and the will that many people have within to construct their own morality as they go along. In short, it is a masterpiece.Hoofers And Hitmen Are Hits Here - Radio_Jane
I swear wherever Chazz Palminterri goes there's a very funny movie. In another great comedy turn as a 20's hood (he was a much less intelligent hood in the comedy gem Oscar- my all time favorite film.), he and his distinguished cast mates deliver a great film. The comedy here is smart, the wit subtle and acerbic. Cusak, Weist, Tilly and my man Chazz bring to life some absolutely zany characters. the period settings are great too. All in all a comedy ten
