Date ![]() Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful Posted: 9/11/2003A review of Annie Hall by Redbarnz Once Woody Allan got a collaborator, Marshall Brickman his humor crystalized into this classic of urbane comedy. With this movie Woody hit his best comic stride. Almost every scene is a wonderful vignette of self-involved, neurotic daters looking for a mate. Much of it is autobiographical and he employs an ex and his then current girlfriend, Diane Keaton. Who can forget her fashion sense that sparked a lot of Annie Hall wannabes. At times he is speaking to you, to random people in the street and even to cartoon characters. Many wonderful character bits by his supporting cast round out this comedy in the spirit of Hepburn and Grant, Powell and Loy. A wonderful ending which ties a nice bow on the whole affair. Definitely worth the watch, a must have movie. <br><br> Was this review helpful?

What the hell is your problem? Do you actually think people care about you personally through the internet? Anyway, I loved this movie. Basically all Woody Allen's movies are great, but this will always remain his best. The plot is perfection and the ending is terrific. I love the scene where Woody is dating someone new after he and Annie broke up and is replaying the incident with the lobsters with someone new and it doesn't work out. It's hilarious.

Aesthetic or Philosophical. I'm an agnostic Liberal. Thus, Woody Allen is an ideological hero of mine. I'll leave the Philosophical at that. On to Aesthetic: Hey, guess what? This film is funny! It's a fine, sad artistic film as well, and I could talk about that too, but first and foremost the film has great humor. Woody saves most of the best lines for himself, but that's part of his charm. His shots against Los Angeles are particularly inspired. But let's not forget Dianne Keaton. She delivers one particular monologue about a World War I veteran from her home town in Wisconsin that is so so funny. Of course, not everyone will find it funny. There are no Animal House gross-out money shots, just some of the best use that the English language has ever been put to. If you like intellectual verbal humor, you'll laugh along with this film. Also, the film moves from scene to scene so fluidly that you don't even realize you're watching a film with an ";unconventional"; plot structure. Finally, I am so glad this movie managed to beat out Star Wars for Best Picture, as much as I love Star Wars. Art has such a hard time every year at the Oscars. Was this review helpful?

I love how he poses questions on society in general in every film. This film is about a relationship, I would say its a study of one particular relationship but which I feel so many people can relate to, I myself am one of them. I like how he kisses Annie immediately to break the ice. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-4 of 4 Per Page | ||
