What's Up, Tiger Lily? is a brutal movie with a poorly written script and voice actors that I am sure had fun, but not to the audience's advantage. I was very enthralled to watch Woody Allen's directorial debut, but I sadly must say it delivers nothing that even hints towards the great work that he would later bring us, no dialogue or witty moment that suggests anything even slightly close to the likes of Annie Hall and Midnight in Paris.
The film's concept of dubbing over an old action movie to change the story seemed interesting, something that could be worthy of a few chuckles, but it wore thin for me very early on and became immensely draining after ninety minutes, it was just too much for such an unremarkable idea.
Poorly written and, at times, quite boring. Forgettable and unfunny, What's Up Tiger Lily is worth giving a miss, do yourself a favour and skip ahead to Allen's later work.
Dialogue is dubbed over an old Japanese film to create a completely different story.
