Review of Annie Hall (1977) by Dominic S — 20 Jul 2013
Yes, this film is legendary, but I have to say that I am more fond of Allen's other film Manhattan.
I understand how great this film really is because of the path it paved for all of the romantic comedies that came after it.
Annie Hall is like no other romantic comedy. Woody Allen truly recreated the romantic comedy.
After seeing The Goodbye Girl and Annie Hall, I have come to the conclusion to say that I believe Allen deserved the Academy Award that was given to Richard Dreyfus instead. Allen was part of the base and support of the story as the adorable and misguided Jewish comedian who wanted love. Dreyfus, while a great performer, was a character in, I believe, a failed romantic comedy and Dreyfus' character gave a failed attempt at resurrecting a pathetic and annoying plot.
Overall, I did enjoy Annie Hall but my love for Manhattan, compared, I'd slightly greater. I do understands Annie Hall's greatness and its clear and bold mark that it imprinted on Hollywood forever, It's just a matter of personal preference.
Annie Hall, I give you a 100%.
