Everyone Says I Love You
Woody Allen's 26th film is a celebration of an eccentric and very extended family living on New York's upper east side, exploring a broad spectrum of romantic entanglements as they fall in and out of love. Allen creates a world in which Yves St. Laurent mannequins come to life in store windows and dance, in which hospital orderlies and nurses join their patients in a musical sequence, and in which ghosts and jewelry salespeople alike participate in intricately staged production numbers.

Woody Allen's musical dares to be different — none of the cast can sing. This is a comedy of frustrated emotions, in which Allen tries to woo Julia Roberts, his ex-wife (played by Goldie Hawn) takes charge of an ex-convict and her daughter (Drew Barrymore) is absorbed by teenage angst. Despite revisiting the usual Allen themes, this is a bold departure from the norm. Characters suddenly launch into songs and there's a wonderful dance sequence on the banks of the Seine, but the lack of musical skills can be a little distracting. The result, though, is strangely endearing.

A slightly sour romantic comedy, and a musical for people who don't like musicals, with its cast warbling and dancing in an amateurish manner; it has a certain charm, though, even if the old songs deserve better.

Excellent
This film certainly isn't for everyone, but if you're a fan of classic musicals and Woody Allen, you'll love this! The film pastiches many old musicals (Including a fantastic Marx brothers segment!), and has a very witty story. It must be understood from the beginning that this isn't a straight musical, and none of the actors can sing, but once you take that on board and sit back and appreciate Allen's magic, it's a wonderful way to spend 100 minutes. (It's not particularly long, and certainly doesn't need to be cut!)

All singing, all dancing mayhem
Some of the singing in this musical is a little dire! In fact the whole film smacks of Woody Allen madness, i.e. bizarre and with a lack of real plot.
It’s a Sunday afternoon family film for die-hard musical lovers. Flippant, fun but not for men I would say (sorry to insult any men who loved this film)! -

Star Wars, V For Vendetta and Leon star Natalie Portman is to follow up her role in historical drama The Other Boleyn Girl with another period piece - a big-screen adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic Wuthering Heights, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Portman, whose previous credits also include Mars Attacks!, Everyone Says I Love You and Closer, will play the film's heroine Catherine Earnshaw, who is drawn into an ultimately doomed romance with caddish, broody sort Heathcliff.
