A comedic and directorial genius

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2009)

Annie Hall is the definition of comedy. In the beginning of this film they need to caution the audience of a severe laugh attack that will literally kill you. I personally believe Annie Hall is the funniest movie to date. Woody Allen's comedic genius is portrayed wonderfully throughout this film. Not only is the story line fabulous and so funny, but its structured so wonderfully, and arranged in such a fashion that it never gets boring. Aside from the comedic factor, this film is wonderfully crafted. There are many creative shots, and it is so wonderfully edited. The original script was so lengthy that it would've run for over 3 hrs. Regardless, Woody Allen magically turned this story into a 93 minute movie. The acting was so wonderful, especially Woody Allen himself. The characters are so memorable, and so is the scripted dialogue. It is a fantastic movie that blended formalism and realism into one hilarious comedic story.
