| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Sleeper |
|---|
This is a classically funny Woody Allen movie! The main character who is from the 1970's is revived in the 2020's when he is defrosted from his "aluminium foil wrapped frozen dinner" form. He was chosen by the future scientists because they need someone without an identity to kill the dictator of the US. The great site gags and typical Woody Allen humor such as his encounters with future home appliances like the "Orgasmitron", make it a great film.
