Slapstick?

American Film Comedy

Evidently, Sleeper was a big hit with this class. Lots of positive feedback during the discussion. Even the somewhat dated parts of the film (i.e., where there are topical references to "things" like, say, Howard Cosell) somehow didn't matter. Reading the students' papers, however, revealed that some students really seemed to like the movie's slapstick humor (which they compared to that of Buster Keaton), while others didn't care for that aspect of the film. Still, I'd say that as of 2012, Woody Allen is still relevant.
