*TOTALLY* OVERRATED!!

Rating: 7/10 (31 March 2002)

Everybody cites this film as a Woody Allen favorite, I really can't agree, though I'd concede it was a critical milestone in his ongoing evolution as a great American writer/director. It has a few good laughs, a few insights into Woody's psyche (though these are not necessarily general insights), but in the end it doesn't really leave you with much to take away. I liked "Hannah and Her Sisters" much better, it has all the laughs and insights "Annie Hall" had but is much, much deeper, and it leaves you with a life-affirming and *positive* ending unlike most of his movies before!
