Woody Allen At His Hilarious Best

Rating: Null/10 (23 October 2002)

"Annie Hall" deserves to be Woody Allen's best remembered film. It is a shining example of comic brillance. When it coes to writing, directing and starring in light comedies about middle aged and neurotic New Yorkers facing midlife crises and desperately trying to make sense of it all, nobody does it better than Allen. This 1977 United Artists release won a well deserved Academy Award for Best Picture while costar Diane Keaton was voted Best Actress and Allen was voted Best Director. Several future stars including Jeff Goldblum and Beverly D'Angelo make early and noticable film bit appearances here. A highly recommended character study comedy even if you are not especially a fan of Allen's work. This one ranks high above all of his other films.
