Movie Reviews of Sleeper

Movie Review: Comedy as comedy should be
Summary: 5 Stars

This is comedy as comedy should be, and not what today's directors try to pass off as funny.
Hopefully no one will try to do a remake today with one of today's so called comedians ... that would be the same as trying to replace Peter Sellers as the Pink Panther. Can't be done.

Order this, sit back for some slapstick and comedy without flesh and four letter words - a chance to use your imagination again.

Lotsa laughs without the PG-13 or R rating! Woody Allen when he was at his best.

Summary of Sleeper

Miles Monroe has been cryogenically frozen for 100 years. When he's illegally awakened, he discovers he's a wanted criminal in world that has drastically changed from the one he left behind.

If Interiors was Woody Allen's Bergman movie, and Stardust Memories was his Fellini movie, then you could say that Sleeper is his Buster Keaton movie. Relying more on visual/conceptual/slapstick gags than his trademark verbal wit, Sleeper is probably the funniest of what would become known as Allen's "early, funny films" and a milestone in his development as a director. Allen plays Miles Monroe, cryogenically frozen in 1973 (he went into the hospital for an ulcer operation) and unthawed 200?years later. Society has become a sterile, Big Brother-controlled dystopia, and Miles joins the underground resistance--joined by a pampered rich woman (Diane Keaton at her bubbliest). Among the most famous gags are Miles's attempt to impersonate a domestic-servant robot; the Orgasmatron, a futuristic home appliance that provides instant pleasure; a McDonald's sign boasting how-many-trillions served; and an inflatable suit that provides the means for a quick getaway. The kooky unthawing scenes were later blatantly (and admittedly) ripped off by Mike Myers in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. --Jim Emerson
