Anything Else (2003)
7/10
Everyday life is sometimes rather hard
21 February 2010
The most important feature of Woody Allen's movies are their dialogues. They are full of wit and lots of humour sometimes too. Through them we understand what's going on almost without looking at the images. His movies deal with everyday urban life of the middle class intellectuals, artists, writers, etc. with all their love, sex and professional problems in a way that is apparently superficial but with lots of psychological human truth anyway despite the fact of some episodes being really funny even when they seem dramatic. This movies tells us a story of a young writer who tries to lead a normal life but is prevented of doing so by a crazy older friend (Woody Allen himself) who acts as an adviser but who keeps getting him into trouble with his advices, a crazy girlfriend who has a somewhat irregular notion of love and sex life besides an heterodox behaviour and last but not least his girlfriend's mother who comes to live with them thus increasing the mess his life is turning into. All characters involved are very well presented and the performers do a great job.
