Summary of Bullets Over Broadway

David Shayne (John Cusack, in performance his character that of a young Woody Allen) is an idealistic young playwright whose life (and play) is about to be turned upside down as it heads toward Broadway. In order to gain financing for GOD OF OUR FATHERS, Shayne agrees to hire Olive Neal (a wonderfully high-squeaking Jennifer Tilly), the actress/girlfriend of Nick Valenti, a potential backer--who also happens to be a gangster. Unfortunately, the lass proves to be not only talent-free but ditzy to boot, a hindrance since she is supposed to play a psychiatrist. But Cheech, Olive's hoodlum bodyguard, proves to be more intuitive artistically than anyone would suspect, as his contributions improve not only Olive's performance but the quality of the flailing play as well. Meanwhile, Shayne must contend with an odd assortment of actors, including the neurotic Eden Brent, with her omnipresent, yapping dog; the pompous Warner Purcell, a corset-wearing overeater; and haughty leading lady Helen Sinclair (a fabulous Dianne Wiest), the aging, boozing diva with whom Shayne begins a romance. The laughs keep coming like rapid machine-gun fire in this riotous Woody Allen farce.

One of Woody Allens' best films in my humble opinion. The script is great, as in all of Woody Allen movies it is dialogue driven, character driven and comedic genius. Plus the brilliant casting of Jennifer Tilly. 5 STARS, WELL DONE. Read and rate it

I remember watching this movie when I twelve, and not really liked it much. I'm 24 now, and don't think it's that much better. I personally like Woody in the 80s, when he's complaining to Diane Keaton or Mia Farrow about their extracurricular... Read and rate it
