Netflix Removes Woody Allen's 'Deconstructing Harry'

0:00On April 1st, Netflix is pulling the 1997 Dark Comedy deconstructing Harry from its lineup on April 12th, 2026. Woody Allen wrote, directed, and stars as Harry Block, a blocked writer who minds his messy real life for stories. Robin Williams pops up in a key role, adding that signature edge to the mix. The plot kicks off with Harry dreading a big honor at his old college, with nobody left to celebrate alongside him. His books have burned every bridge, so he ropes in an X, a hooker, a random buddy, and even kidnaps his own kid for a chaotic road trip. Flashbacks unpack his regrets through twisted tales. Fans and critics dug it back then, giving it 73% on the tomatometer and 83% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. That said, it bombed at the box office, scraping just $10.6 million against a $20 million budget. Released December 12th, 1997, the cast packs heavy hitters like Kirstie Alley as the ex-wife and Eric Lloyd as the son.

1:00It's got that bold, uncomfortable vibe Allen was known for. Catch it now if you haven't. Netflix won't hold on to this gem forever, and it's a sharp reminder of how art can cut too close to the bone. Stay in the know with entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered updates.
