In Brief: Somehow I resisted this at first? Happy to find it's puckish, brassy, sad, and sweet. Nostalgic but not goopy.

VOR: ④  Allen pauses on honoring Masters to pay fond, tricky tribute to his lineage. Key transition from pure comedies to his sophisticated 80s run.

Grade: B+

(in March 2008: C–)
