Urban Comedy

An urban comedy is just what it sounds like it might be: a comedy that highlights the eccentricities and foibles, the loves and lives of urban dwellers. Just as the urban drama, the particular personality of a specific city is as prominant as an character. Much of Woody Allen's ouevre such as including Anne Hall and Manhattan could not be separated from New York, such as inspired noodle-centric mania of Tampopo be decouple from Tokyo. A reoccurring motif in the urban comedy is the naive out-of-towner who looks upon the hustle and bustle of the big city with a mixture of awe and befuddlement as seen in such films as The Out-of-Towners and Mystery Train.
