Simply put, incredibly, unbelievably, tremendously overrated

Rating: 1/10 (12 November 2005)

This is one of the most horrible films I have ever seen. I know my films, and I cannot believe the adulation some give this unfunny, unclever mess. This movie came out at a great time for hack Woody Allen - he had 60's and 70's audiences by the throat because they, for some odd reason, loved him for the most part. Fortunately, by the mid-80's people finally started to wise up to this shyster, and that's why every movie he makes completely bombs.
It's not about "getting it" - oh how I hate it when elitists like Allen fanatics try to pull that crap on people. "It's just over your head..." "Woody is an acquired taste..." "He's for sophisticates..." BULL. He SUCKS. He's a hack.
I actually do like a few Woody Allen films. I repeat, "like." Play It Again Sam was OK. Broadway Danny Rose was OK. A few more were OK. But really. "Annie Hall" is a joke. It's not clever, it's not funny, it's not entertaining, it's a farce. It's a great trick that Allen pulled on audiences and he got away with it. In 1977, he must have been laughing like mad behind everyone's backs. "I can't believe how great they are saying this movie is!!" My goodness. You gotta give Allen credit in a strange way though. For putting a mess like this out in theaters takes nerve. Politely smiling while everyone is praising your film that you know is a piece of crap takes nerve. Woody proves that old saying miscredited to P.T. Barnum is totally true!
