You'll never forget this oddball character 10/10

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2002)

Woody Allen's best film -- it's his funniest and most tragic. Sean Penn's best performance -- simply because he is Emmet Ray, and Emmet Ray is this movie. The audience joins Emmet on an adventure of sorts through his enigmatic life. This is a truly wonderful character study, on a completely fictional character. All of the supporting cast is equally amusing -- but this is Penn's masterpiece.
