Movie Review by B Movie Ben
April 16th, 2008

F**k em if they can't take a joke.

Favorite Movie Quote: "Senora, please, please. This is the house of God, there is no screaming or jumping for joy here."

I am not a Woody Allen fan. I consider it significant that he has only one Oscar nomination for acting and that was 30 years ago. All of his other many nominations and wins were for writing and directing. If you like Sacha Baron Cohen, then you will like Woody Allen and vice versa. Maybe they should do something together - with nude wrestling, of course.

This is not an Allen project. He only acts here. The director is Alfonso Arau (Like Water for Chocolate), and the writer is Bill Wilson in his only project (maybe this is a ghost name). So, if you like Allen's acting, then you may find it interesting.

There are a lot of interesting characters in the movie: Sharon Stone as Tex's (Allen) adulterous wife, whom he dismembers, and whose hand becomes a religious icon; Sicilian beauty Maria Grazia Cucinotta as the town wh*re and the local priest's (David Schwimmer) babe; Elliott Gould, Andy Dick and Fran Drescher as church authorities; Cheech Marin as the Mayor; Kiefer Sutherland as a dumb Texas cop that gets a real ride in the end; and many many more.

You get to see such miracles a a 3-foot schlong, la tortilla get humongous chi chis, the blind see, the lame grow new legs, and everybody just acting as crazy as they can.

If you enjoy rubbernecking at traffic accidents, you will enjoy this.

I'd actually really liked this movie, but it's been ages since I watched it.
