Anything Else (2003)
a sham of a farce of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham...

What an utter disgrace. Does Allen even attend the cinema anymore? If he does it must be to watch endless re-runs of ANNIE HALL and MANHATTAN. It is completely irksome to hear Allen's obsolete values and tired routines spew forth from the mouths of young fogeys Biggs and Ricci. Ricci, Ricci, Ricci! What are you doing in this loser-land? Get a life. I can hear Biggs' agent now: "Look, Biggs baby, Ed Norton did a picture with Woody when he was on the way up, it's like being annointed by Manhattan royalty."

You have been warned. The man who made BANANAS should have quit while he was ahead. Today, in his dotage with not a decent joke left to parry, he suffers from runaway hubris and extreme nostalgia. Notice how the only films he acts in these days are his own?

This is an atrocity exhibition, an unholy bore. Try as I might I can't wash away the stain this film has left on my psyche. Actually, i've forgotten it already.
