So, 'Manhattan Mixup' is this quirky comedy from 2011 directed by Matthew C. Johnson. It’s got that delightful screwball vibe that harkens back to the classics, blending mistaken identity with a good dose of wartime absurdity. The film unfolds in 1943, where Cora Apple's birthday takes a wild turn thanks to her sisters, Seedy and Candy, who mix up her gift with top-secret plans for the Manhattan Project. The performances are a real treasure, bringing out that zany charm, and there’s a certain nostalgic atmosphere that feels like you’re watching an old-school comedy. It’s a neat little homage that plays with themes of chaos, family, and the unpredictability of life. You can’t help but appreciate the practical effects and timing, it just feels so... alive.
Great for fans of vintage screwball comedies. · Captures the essence of 1940s comedy with a modern twist. · Interesting mix of historical context and humor.
