Review of Everyone Says I Love You (1996) by Marcus W — 05 May 2009

Any film that starts with Edward Norton singing gets my interest. It then goes on to be a typical Woody Allen film: people falling in and out of love while Allen does his neurotic spiel, not to mention Allen yet again making his love for the city of New York evident.

However, it's the wonderful musical numbers that boost it. Tim Roth (playing a sociopath) serenades Drew Barrymore, a man escapes from a straight-jacket during one number and then starts doing ballet, and there's also a terrific piece that could be straight out of Beetlejuice.

Plus, everybody in Hollywood is in this (mostly). It culminates with an amazing dance between Goldie Hawn and Woody Allen and then as the credits came up I just wanted to applaud.
