Peary argues that &#8220;the film footage is wild to begin with&#8221;, and thus &#8220;the ridiculous inserted dialogue works&#8221;. Naturally, not all the dubbed lines work, but a surprising majority are hilarious, and lovers of Allen&#8217;s left-field non-sequiturs will be especially thrilled. Just for kicks, Peary recommends &#8220;substituting your own silly lines to see if they better Allen&#8217;s&#8221; (!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cool opening credits<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Opening-Credits.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Opening-Credits.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-62006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Opening-Credits.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Opening-Credits-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Opening-Credits-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Opening-Credits-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Opening-Credits-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A woman seductively asking her lover to &#8220;name three presidents&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Presidents.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Presidents.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-62004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Presidents.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Presidents-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Presidents-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Presidents-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-Presidents-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Woody Allen simply responding &#8220;No&#8221; when an interviewer asks him to clarify what has happened so far in the movie<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-No.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-No.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-62005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-No.jpg 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-No-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-No-128x72.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-No-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/07\/Whats-Up-Tiger-Lily-No-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes.
