Memorizing this film's every line was no chore.

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2011)

By far, hands down - This is not just my favorite Woody Allen film but my (and my brother's) favorite film of all time. Allen plays that familiar clichéd, existential literary character in a way that is anything but cliché. He turns literature's most classic elements in on themselves to create a superb parody. Though not a fan of slapstick, I enjoyed the physical comedy just as much as the dialog. Every minute is hilarious and even the score is enchanting. His humor rates high in both the pun usage as well as the physical comedy. Of course this film will go most appreciated by lovers of Russian literature but even those who simply enjoy Allen's wit and sense of humor will find this film everything Annie Hall was and more. For someone who's favorite book in 8th grade was Crime and Punishment this film was a God send. For some, Allen's familiar "neurotic" character becomes old, but for those who can relate to that illustration, it's preaching to the choir. Memorizing this film's every line was no chore. Everything, down to the facial expressions, is drenched in hilarity and fits perfectly together to create what is, in my opinion, Allen's funniest film.
