Sleeper

Sleeper (1973) starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton. Slapstick sci-fi is the best phrase I can think of to describe this movie. Woody plays Miles Monroe, a clarinetist and health food store owner from 1973 who dies and is frozen for 200 years, waking up in the year 2173. Keaton gamely tries to keep up with Allen in the slapstick department, playing Luna, a woman of 2173 who at first wants to turn Miles in as a dangerous alien but later joins the underground. This film is very uneven, with some great laughs at points but also some slow patches -- surprising in a movie that is only 87 minutes long. The disc lacks subtitles, but closed captions are available. Grade: B
