Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: This desperate, R-rated variation on Annie Hall brings to mind nothing so much as a train on a liberally greased track. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... beautiful piece of work. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Half an hour into the movie, the title seems like a taunt. Is there anything else, Woody? Please? Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: It's one of the best, most smoothly executed Woody Allen movies in recent years. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: It feels oddly long for a Woody Allen picture, but its relaxed, casual air gives the humor room to breathe, and a gratifyingly high proportion of the piled-up one-liners actually raise a laugh. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Woody Allen's best movie in years. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: This movie is wretched, condescending, and sad, like watching an elderly man spend more than 100 minutes tapping his arm for the youth vein -- which he never finds. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: Modestly conceived and affably low-key. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: I didn't laugh once. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: A return to the Allen of old. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: With every recycled piece of business -- which is to say, every scene in Anything Else -- the distance widens between Allen and the elusive audience he pessimistically chases. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: If nothing else, Anything Else is a helluva case study: Woody looks to have fired his shrink only to give the job to us. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Anything Else should return Woody Allen to moviegoers' good graces. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: The movie only comes alive as a hostile critique of psychoanalysis. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Joining the small list of male actors who have taken the lead in an Allen film ... Biggs also proves himself to be the least engaging, or interesting, of the lot, coming across much more like an innocent bystander than the centerpiece of an urban comedy. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Perhaps the worst of the 67-year-old auteur's 34 features. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: None of this adds up to much of a movie; it's more like a filmed hodgepodge of not-fully- thought-out ideas and one-liners and small shards of jaundiced polemic. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Curiously, Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci come out better than I imagined after being compelled to play out the movie's sadomasochistic tag line. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: There's a lot of truth in the screenplay, and, combined with Ricci's top-notch, can't-take-your- eyes-off-her-when- she's-on-screen performance, this gives the movie a strong spine. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: At a time when so many American movies keep dialogue at a minimum so they can play better overseas, what a delight to listen to smart people whose conversation is like a kind of comic music. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Anything Else isn't just the latest Woody Allen movie; it's also the smallest. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: It has taken Allen over 30 years, but he has finally made a movie that's almost unwatchable. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Want to see an actor do a bad Woody Allen impression? Cast him in the Woody Allen part in a Woody Allen-written movie. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: It's as locked in ritual as Monday nights at Michael's Pub, Central Park walks or afternoons at Village record stores. Read more
David Stratton, Variety: The younger casting brings a freshness to the material and, with Allen as the weird mentor, there are plenty of laughs, even if the pacing's slow and the running time over-extended. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Who knows what sense an American Pie-digging, Woodman-ignorant undergrad might make of the canned rhythms, the trilobite-era one-liners, the awkward declarative dialogue, the Catskills-resort frames of reference, the freshman philosophy. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: The movie doesn't have the energy to be truly horrible. It's too muted and enervated. But it's a somewhat tedious thing to sit through. Read more
