A movie inspired by movie escapism. Minor, but surprisingly, almost defiantly upbeat.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Although "Manhattan Murder Mystery" struggles with its own contrivances, it achieves a gentle, nostalgic grace and a hint of un-self-conscious wisdom.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

That Woody Allen found time to be remotely funny -- in the midst of his highly publicized legal troubles -- surely merits some kind of professional award.

"Manhattan Murder Mystery" is an accomplished balancing act.
