Woody's play, Don't Drink The Water, made once before and a bomb then, gets the author's own direction in this TV movie, and confirms that Allen and TV are not a good match. I guess that thing he did with Miley Cyrus reconfirmed it.
DDTW (1994) looks awful, sounds awful, is awful. An insufferable, spectacularly irritating US family flees to the US embassy when there is trouble in the Eastern European country they're visiting on vacation. Once safely inside they besiege it from within, causing havoc and headaches for all the embassy staff. The premise may sound comedically appealing, but trust me, this is a stinkathon of a movie. A real contender for the worst Allen picture, vying with such lows as Hollywood Ending and Anything Else.
Happily, 1994 was also the year he released Bullets Over Broadway, which is outstanding, one of his finest movies. See that instead.
