Review of Annie Hall (1977) by Leon B — 19 Sep 2014

Review:

This is yet another Woody Allen movie about a troubled relationship. I did enjoy the scenes when Allen and the cast were talking into the camera, but I must admit, I did get a bit bored with the whole film. The constant questioning about his love for Keaton's character,  becomes a bit tedious after a while and it just seemed like a New York fashion show half of the time. The flashbacks of his childhood were quite funny, along with the lobster scene in the kitchen, but the constant questioning of there past relationships and there weird sex life, which relied on weed, takes its toll after a while. Anyway, I was expecting something better after reading all of the great reviews, but I did struggle to stay awake. On the plus side, it is better than some of the other Woody Allen movies that I have seen. Watchable!

Round-Up:

I know that I'm really late with seeing this movie, especially as I was 4 when the movie came out, but it's very relevant to nowadays as it's about a couple who has its ups and downs, which happens in everyday life. The childhood scenes were actually about real moments in Woody Allen's life which show what type of upbringing he had. Definitely nothing that I can relate to! Anyway, on the whole, the movie is a love story set in New York, like most of Woody Allen's earlier work, and if your into his warped sense of humour then you wont find it hard to enjoy this movie, but I'm still finding it hard to understand his wit.

Budget: $4million.

Worldwide Gross: $38.2million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there Woody Allen movies about relationships and growing up. 4/10.
