Woody Allen comedy about two neurotic New York comedy writers, an experienced one (Allen) and an aspiring one (Jason Biggs), and their relationship.

Meanwhile Biggs' character falls in love with a free-spirited young woman (Christina Ricci). Also with Stockard Channing and Danny DeVito. Directed by Woody Allen. [1:48]
