David Ansen Newsweek The anxiety-ridden New York milieu, the Billie Holiday songs, the shrink jokes are familiar, but this time we see it all played out by a new generation. Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Jul 30, 2004 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) Woody Allen tries to extend the shelf-life of his screen persona by hiring a younger, more marketable actor Jul 29, 2004 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List It's another rendition of "Play it Again, Woody." Which is no bad thing. Rated: 3/5 Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com "Anything Else" represents low ebb for the comic filmmaker famous for transmuting the work of Ingmar Bergman into New York centric comedies full of neurosis based humor.

Jason M i thought this movie was among Woody Allen's better efforts. 40% is surprising. Solid filmmaking. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Alec B Yeah a lot of this is recycled material but this strikes me as one of Allen's more personal movies and I think Jason Biggs is terrific here. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Really love watching the movie! Do not often hear women be okay with their husbands being with other women just so they don't have to sexually gratify their men so seeing that scene where Amanda was okay with David being with other women was a shocker for me. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm surprised more people don't like this. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Sameir A It's a Woody Allen movie. That's the review in a single sentence. Well, am a huge fan of his films. This one also deals with love, confusions, situations... the usual Allen stuff. But, his films have this magical power to make us so involved in the movie. A very funny romantic drama. A must watch for his fans. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/12/21 Full Review Audience Member You can tell everything coming out of Jason Biggs mouth is directly from Allen’s pen 2.5. That girlfriend suckedddddd. It was tough to watch without him dumpinggggg her Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/21 Full Review Read all reviews
