A Perfect Romantic Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2015)

This is Woody Allen at his best. This film is hilarious, thoughtful, and beautiful. It is the best romantic comedy I have ever scene. For some reason this genre is saturated with terrible, formulaic films. Annie Hall is not one them. This film has some of the most clever writing of any movie I have ever seen. Unlike most comedies, this film does not go for cheap laughs. Every line is very well thought out. There are many references to literature and film that make the film all the more rich with different levels of comedy. The factor that puts this film over the top from great to amazing is that chemistry between Diane Keaton and Woody Allen. They were in a relationship at one point around the time the film was made and it is clear that some of the emotion in the film comes from real feeling.
