Bananas Ratings & Reviews
Tablet
J. Hoberman
...an inventive piece of filmmaking, full of cinephilic references and most evocative of the period during which it was made.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Lighthearted, goofy, cynical, ridiculous, and scathingly critical in equal proportions.
Los Angeles Free Press
David A. Mancini
Overall the film is most entertaining.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
When it comes for sheer, unadulterated fun, [Allen] never seemed more youthful or more exuberant than he did here.
TV Guide
Although some of the humor falls flat in this early Allen comedy, his satire of revolutions and revolutionaries is perpetually topical; subsequent events in Central America have only enhanced the film's appeal.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
It is a funny picture - not too consistently, and certainly not too coherently, but when it hits, it hits.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A study of the Cuban Revolution by way of Freedonia
Variety
Variety Staff
Bananas is chockfull of sight gags, one-liners and swiftly executed unnecessary excursions into vulgarity whose humor for the most part can't make up for content.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Inspired by the Marx Brothers comedies (specifically Duck Soup), Woody Allen made a leap forward as filmmaker in his second feature, a zany satire composed of riotous sketches and incoherent but funny one-liners.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An attempt to capture the same zaniness the Marx Brothers had in Duck Soup.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Allen's view of the world is fraught with everything except pathos, and it's a view I happen to find very funny.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
I still love Woody's masked parents.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
The material ranges from the wild and funny to several moments that are quite tasteless. The result is a very uneven comedy.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Yes, Allen has made better movies -- lots of them -- but I'm not sure he ever made anything funnier.
