Comedy Allan Felix would like to be Bogart, to be able to drink like Bogart and to seduce like Bogart. But he’s nothing but a neurotic film reviewer recently dumped by his bored-to-death wife. With the help of his friends Dick and Linda plus that of Bogart himself, who appears from time to time to give him advice, Allan starts dating women again, though not with much success.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Maybe the movie has too much coherence, and the plot is too predictable (...) Still, that's hardly a serious complaint about something as funny as Play It Again, Sam (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Empire	"Woody's neuroses are still gloriously present, and the whole thing is made accessible by Herbert Ross' dynamic direction (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	William Gallagher BBC	"This is very much one of Allen's earlier, funnier films. (...) For all the brilliant dialogue, too, it's the visuals of this film that stay with you"	POS
United Kingdom	Derek Adams Time Out	"There are plenty of good sight gags and one-liners. Much better than Allen's previous self-directed effort, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex."	POS
