Better than the Rest

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 1999)

The next time you feel tempted to shell out for the latest Romantic comedy from Meg Ryan/Julia Roberts/Sandra Bullock, do yourself a favor and go rent Annie Hall instead. There is not another romantic comedy that can compare to Woody Allen's masterpiece in the way of wit, warmth, and impact. Some of the scenes may seem cliched, but that's only because film makers have borrowed liberally from this gem ever since.
