About

If you enjoy playful, old-school showbiz comedy with mob trouble and a warm, hapless lead, Broadway Danny Rose may fit; Not for you if you want modern humor that holds up cleanly, or if you dislike outdated stereotypes like in Zelig.

Pros: witty showbiz setup; mob-fueled chase fun; charming performances | Cons: repeats jokes; stereotypes age poorly; one scene feels off
