I absolutely hate EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU. I think it's an awful film. I think I have such strong feelings about it is because I wanted it to be so good, I love the cast, I love a good Woody Allen film, and I love movie musicals, but as others pointed out, everyone seems so awkward and uncomfortable with the genre. And those songs! And that story! And... ugh, I really dislike this movie.
I think Woody Allen is definitely hit or miss. When he is good, I think he is brilliant, but when he is bad, he is simply terrible and I think very inconsistent as a director in that sense.
Has anyone mentioned CELEBRITY yet? What a strange film. I can't decide if I like it or not, but I thought that Bebe Neuwirth teaching Judy Davis how to give fellatio is one of the funniest things I've seen in ANY movie.
I will say the movies of his that I like, are movies that I truly adore. I think ANNIE HALL, BULLETS OVER BROADWAY, and MIGHTY APHRODITE are some of my favorite movies, especially the first two. I also love ALICE. I've yet to see MANHATTAN and HANNAH AND HER SISTERS, but I intent to watch them.
Of his new movies I gotta say I really enjoyed MATCH POINT, but I loved VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA which reminded me of a Pedro Almodovar movie.
I love that he can get so many great female performances in his movies. Diane Keaton, Diane Wiest, Mia Farrow, Mira Sorvino, and Penelope Cruz have all been fascinating to watch in his films.
