  Well, It's like Anything Else
  
  I'm slightly baffled as to why 'Anything Else' has only received a two and a half star rating. Granted, this review is biased seeing as I am a Woody... read more »

  Nothing else needed.....
  
  So I am quite biased when it comes to Woody Allen films, but this is a gem! Biggs and Ricci are brilliant as a miss-matched couple brought together by instant ... read more »

  Retire already, would you !
  
  Failed to spot it was a Woody A film.
  
  He, as usual, smothered his 'stars' with yet another, self absorbed performance.

  formulaic Woody

  Anything Else
  
  Amusing light movie, good acting, a typical Woody Allen, maybe a repetition of the old themes. But fun to watch.

  Pointless
  
  Not one of Woody Allens best by a long chalk. Got rather bored, in fact, especially fed up of listening to people having rows

  Anything Else (2003)
  
  Even real Woody Allen fans like me could not find anything of merit in this utter drivel.

  Recommended for Woody fans only. This isn't really that funny, although it does has a couple of laugh out loud moments. I'd say the second half of the ... read more »
