WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, this is my second Woody Allen film, the first being Midnight in Paris which was very good. After watching this film, I hate Woody Allen. His character is narcissistic and rude. He always thinks about himself and his voice made me want to kill myself. The story is slow and boring. The characters constantly talk about sex and there is no way Woody Allen would ever get that much puss. He sleeps with at least five women throughout the film. That in and of itself is impossible. He is a short, ugly, and annoying man. The film is so shapeless and it repeats itself so many times, it is an utter chore to watch.The acting is bad. Woody Allen casted himself in a film he directed (He has an ego problem). He is really bad also. Diane Keaton is quite good though. She plays a quirky yet cute woman.The pacing is horrible. The film is slow and the runtime feels so long.All in all, Woody Allen sucks.Pros: Diane Keaton performs wellCons: Woody Allen plays a narcissistic and annoying man who thinks that he knows everything, Woody Allen would never get that much puss, the story is boring, the characters suck, bad acting, slow pacing, and a long runtime.Overall Rating: 3.0

J Besser Tom (Billy Jack) Laughlin dropped his membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts ans Sciences after "Annie Hall" won Best Picture. He believed that "Star Wars" should have won. He understood that George Lucas' film would forever change the way movies were made and that it should have been recognized for that. It's hard to argue with that. Especially now since "Annie Hall" is almost completely forgotten. "AH" is rarely mentioned when Woody Allen fans discuss his movies. It wasn't that good then and now it seems completely dated. Many of Woody's films get better every time I see them ("Stardust Memories" ,"Zelig","Scoop""Broadway Danny Rose"). "AH" just lays there. It seems an hour longer than it is. There are some laugh out loud moments but it hardly seems worth the effort. Then again, it's way better than "Alice".

Con-Deuce Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" works despite some flaws mostly in Allen's direction. This is likely due to the fact that Allen wasn't entirely sure what the film was going to be about but the film editor Ralph Rosenblum was instrumental in putting all the pieces together. It doesn't matter how it was put together: the final product is terrific. I wish I could watch it fresh all over again. It's comedic scenes are unpredictable, Allen's one liners are often priceless. It is partly an autobiography (of sorts) about Allen that morphs into focusing on his relationship to Diane Keaton as Annie Hall. Keaton is tremendous here. She possesses everything a star actor needs: she's charming, pretty and smart. She captures the audiences affections early on and that is key to the film's success. "Annie Hall" is the only one of Allen's films that really feels human. The ending is truly touching, an achievement that Allen rarely was able to achieve (though he often tried very hard to).

Dave Woody Allen and Diane Keaton are brilliant in this well-written, well- acted romantic comedy. This is one of the best films of the genre.It shows very well how the two main characters have very different ways of seeing things, such as when he says that they hardly ever have sex, only three times a week - and she says that they have sex all the time - three times a week. The scenes with what the two main characters really mean in subtitles is very clever.Many people hate this film, but most of them are Star Wars fanatics who are still bitter - four decades on - that Annie Hall beat Star Wars to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
