If you are a big Woody Allen fan you should see this movie just to see his character. It's a truly great character and he plays it brilliantly. As a whole though this movie just doesn't do anything for me. I... Full review

This movie really is an underrated gem. Somehow most critics have become totally unable to accept Woody Allen's work for what it is and compare it only to other movies from the same years.Woody Allen has said many times that... Full review

IRRITATING? Heck, yeah. Self-indulgent? For sure. A rehash of virtually every movie its creator has done in past years? Probably. Nevertheless, Anything Else also happens to be the most enjoyable Woody Allen flick since . . . well, take your... Full review
One of the best recent Woody films

Nick Brown - imdb.com
This film is one of Woody's best. Basically is it criticised by people who don't like Woody Allen for being like all the others, or by people that do like him because it's not quite his usual story line. The... Full review

I admit I am a Woody Allen fan. I think that this is one of Woody's funniest films and that it is a great satire on New York's upper class people's customs and foibles, and, as I said, it is very... Full review

I think there's a reason Woody Allen is not mentioned in ANY advertisement associated with this film--although quite loyal, his fans are a minority and this movie proves why. While he's hailed as the king of comic dialogue, I got so... Full review

I don't see many woody converts coming from this movie. I fear the Jason Biggs fan club will see it and hate it... Ricci fans may enjoy it because she does more movies along these lines. I know I'm biased (i've... Full review
I Think This Is My Favorite Woody Allen Movie

I loved the dialogue in this movie. This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The banter between Jason Biggs and everyone else is to die for. Woody Allen's still got it after all these years and Jason Biggs... Full review
Woody Allen's witty romantic comedy about a young writer, Jerry Falk (biggs) and his problems with his wife, Amanda (Ricci). Meanwhile the young writer has a teacher-student relationship with an old writer who teaches (Allen). I thought this was classic... Full review

When he makes a questionable film there are still things in it to keep an audience engaged so the worst that may be said is that at least it was interesting. Physically, Christina Ricci, is fabulous. ... Full Review

Slightly hit-and-miss but still entertaining comedy, thanks to strong comic performances from its supporting cast. Biggs does his best, but struggles with the weight of narrating the film to camera. ... Full Review

Allen's whip-smart dialogue is scathing as always....Indeed, a major flaw here is the casting of Jason Biggs..... ... Full Review

The title, by the way, rolls awkwardly off the tongue and doesn't make much sense, until you see the movie. Biggs plays Jerry Falk, a rising comedy writer who suffers from an inability to break off hurtful relationships. ... Full Review
