Woody Allen at his best.

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2010)

Woody Allen's firmly established himself as one of the best auteur's/directors ever in my books. What I liked about the film most was how much I could relate to it, the portrayal of relationships is very realistic and there were numerous scenes where I thought to myself "I know I've been there". I also saw a lot of myself in the Woody Allen character, the ultimate pessimist always worrying about one thing or the other. On top of all that the film was frickin' hilarious, doesn't rely on dumb jokes like most of today's comedies do but rather relies on wit and irony, you can tell a lot of craft was put into the writing. I especially loved the scene where he's standing in line for a movie and there's a guy behind him spouting crap about Fellini. Christopher Walken's scene was great too, loved Allen's response to him, "Right. Well, I have to - I have to go now, Duane, because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth."
Not as good as "Manhattan" or "Crimes and Misdemeanors" but I can confidently say it's one of the best comedies I've seen. It's packed with great lines and one liners without ever coming off as forced or stupid. If you're a far of intelligent comedy and you haven't seen this, well, what are you waiting for?
