Hilarious movie, not only Allen's best film to date, easily his best acting to date. (Yes I know, he plays himself in every movie, OK, but he does it better here.) I LAUGHED out loud, you will too, don't miss this... Full review

What's sad is the movie fails on almost every level. With "Hollywood Ending" it's fair to ask whether Woody Allen's movie career is at an end. Allen plays Val Waxman, a once great director fallen on hard times. ... Full Review

Yet, as I watched Allens stuttering, nonsensical performance, and the stuttering, nonsensical film it found itself in, I actually began to enjoy myself. Val, along with scheming agent Al (Mark Rydell), sets up an exceedingly diverse cast and crew to work on the film, but a problem has arisen just before shooting is to begin: Vals gone blind. ...
