I do think that the film Bullets Over Broadway is laugh-out-loud funny and perhaps funnier (to me) than most of Brooks's films (with the exceptions of The Producers and Young Frankenstein, and even the latter is iffy for me on this particular comparison). I'm old enough to have seen movies like Annie Hall and Bananas in the theatres on their original releases, and audiences certainly found them extremely funny (at least the audiences with whom I saw them). Obviously, many of Allen's later movies don't strive to be as comedic — some don't strive to be comedic at all — but I found Bullets Over Broadway extremely funny.
