Vincent Canby · The New York Times 80.00/100.00

Any movie that attempts to mix together love, Cuban revolution, the C.I.A., Jewish mothers, J. Edgar Hoover and a few other odds and ends (including a sequence in which someone orders 1,000 grilled cheese sandwiches) is bound to be a little weird—and most welcome.

开场还是很淦的,美国新闻直播拉美小国的总统刺杀事件,这边总统刚死,记者现场采访上位的军官……无论群演的组织还是桥段的荒诞程度,都是在线的。丧逼小职员伍迪·艾伦因女友吐槽,跑到拉美参与政治,被当地政府当做逼美国出手的牺牲品,游击队出手救下他后又浑浑噩噩当选该国总统……这主干部分缀连的相当随意和跳跃,段子的密度与水准也都不在线上。片尾伍迪被视作叛国者接受审讯的庭审戏拉回了一点分,他一个人自问自答,指责陪审团里没有同性恋什么的,整段都毫无逻辑,颠覆的挺过瘾(包括最后新婚夫妇像拳击比赛一样接受现场直播)。伍迪在这里表现了去政治化的倾向,游击队俩首领让人想起卡斯特罗跟格瓦拉,庭审的证人有扮成女黑人的情报局长胡佛,他随时嘲讽革命、反共,或者自己的犹太身份。史泰龙跑了个龙套

Dave Kehr · Chicago Reader 70.00/100.00

It is a funny picture—not too consistently, and certainly not too coherently, but when it hits, it hits.
