Woody Allen

Rating: 4/10 (10 May 2011)

I didn't really enjoy this movie. I found Alvy quite annoying with his constant complaining and pessimistic views. At the end of the movie I felt somewhat depressed and at the same time relieved it was over. The story was one that has been used many times, the classic case of a nerdy guy falling for a woman that is seen to be out of his league. I did like how at times Alvy was narrating so that we could figure out what was going on inside his head, and I found that the asides or soliloquy were creative ways for Allen to throw a few jokes into the movie to make it a little more light hearted. Overall I did not enjoy the movie and felt that it was the following of a whiny man in an overused story line.
