Annie Hall

Rating: 5/10 (7 December 2014)

I thought this film was very pleasing to the eyes and had a great message that can some what relate to everyones love life. At some point in our lives we have all been Alvy Singerand i think thats why this movie is so appreciated by many. However Woody Allen is way to much of a personality actor for me. While his humor certainly has its moments and can get me to laugh pretty hard, it becomes old and stagnant throughout this film. Woody Allen is strongly opinionated and he makes it clear by force feeding his thoughts about society to you countless times in his films. It almost feels like getting stuck at a stand up act that you didn't sign up to go see. Another thing that held this film back was purely the amount of times he steps out of character and acknowledges that this is a film. I think thats a clever method in film making and can be hilarious, however this technique was beat to death in this film.
