  It been a long time ...
  
  I couldn't wait to see sleeper again. It must have been 15 years ago or even longer when I first saw it. I thought it was hilarious.

  Great Romp of Slapstick Humour
  
  Refreshingly funny and outrageous the political satire was not penetrating or substantial enough for this film of slapstick hilarity to leave a deeper ... read more »

  As Fresh and Funny as it was in the 70's

  Not a film to sleep through.
  
  Woody Allen used to be very very funny especially when he acted with Diane Keaton and this fim was an example.

  I've had fond memories of Sleeper for many years and watched it again with much anticipation. When they talk about 'the earlier, funny ones', ... read more »

  Sleeper - very bad!
  
  This was actually the worst film I have ever seen. Clearly Woody is just starting out, thankfully he got better

  SLEEPER CELL
  
  Weak version of Modern Times because it lacks a connecting theme of sufficient interest. Instead, we have here a series of disconnected slapstick that is ... read more »

  SLAP STICK? SLAP S!*T!
  
  Allen's worst film I have ever seen. There is no zero rating so he is lucky to get 1. Drivel. There are plenty of better things you can do in 129 mins ... read more »

  Not one of Allen's best
  
  Sleeper is most certainly not among Woody Allen's best work. The film was made during Allen's pre-Annie Hall period, dubbed his 'funny period'. ... read more »

  Dated
  
  There are a few good bits in this film, but most of the time the comendy resorts to slapstick and made me wish the film would end.
