The working out of the parallels with Casablanca are masterly, and there are plenty of good sight gags and one-liners.

Maybe the movie has too much coherence, and the plot is too predictable; that's a weakness of films based on well-made Broadway plays. Still, that's hardly a serious complaint about something as funny as Play It Again, Sam."
