Critics Consensus

A likable, infectious musical, Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You is sometimes uneven but always toe-tapping and fun.

When one thinks of musicals, the name Woody Allen isn't the first name that comes to mind. But what he achieves with this film is nothing short of magical, and as a ride-or-die Allen fan, I place this toward the very top of his filmography. Who could have guessed that Allen's modern New York sensibility could meld so well with old-fashioned song and dance numbers? It proves as winning a combination as the tragedy and comedy of CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS. Some may complain that many of the actors don't sing well, but to me that grounds them in a reality that makes them more relatable. Love him or hate him, one can't argue that Allen produced some of the great ensemble casts ever, and this is no exception. He and Hawn share a scene toward the end of the movie along the banks of the Seine that is positively luminous and other-worldly. I get chills just thinking about it. And by the closing credits, my cheeks are sore from smiling so much. There are lots of laughs, some wonderful old tunes and dynamite performances. This is a treasure!

Allen doesn't stop spreading beauty, joy and happiness. And he does so by reintepreting a movie genre that was very popular when he was young, losing in the following decades its influence on the audience: the musical. The opening scene indeed depicts Skylar (Drew Barrymore) and Holden (Edward Norton), singing in the streets of N.Y. The movie follows the lifes of a family where Bob (Alan Alda) is Steffi's second husband (Goldie Hawn); Bob had from his previous marriage 3 daughters: Skylar, Laura and Lane and a son, Scott. Steffi, whose former husband is Allen himself, had a daughter with him, D.J, who is the narrator. The loose cannon is clearly Allen, who now lives in Paris and fails to find a new girl. Thus through old and new loves, regrets, sorrows and wrong choices, among Paris, N.Y and Venice, as usual Allen portrays the everyday life (the wealth of the protagonists doesn't affect the reality of the story) with his magic touch, making it lighthearted and irresistible. To underline moreover Julia Roberts's part.

I enjoyed the 'Singing In The Rain' type choreography (think plenty of dances, including tap dancing) and songs played. Its a light and breezy, jolly film with jazz type music played most of the time. It has the look of a 1950s film about it and is certainly cheesy, in a sort of a 'Glee' type way. If you enjoy old fashioned musicals then you'll likely find this fun. I'm a bit tired of seeing Woody Allen play the same old neurotic character in many of his films, I admit but that aside, I enjoyed it well enough. I liked the scenes set in where I assume was Venice, with Julia Roberts, with gondola's passing by and everything. Also, hearing Julia Roberts singing was interesting, I guess - oh and Tim Roths singing too. Her somewhat fawning over Woody was a little cringe enducing though, it does have to be said. This is very much a cheesy and sentimental film. I suppose it does have a bit of a classic type feel about it. Its hardly a stand out film but its a pleasant enough watch and so its worth seeing if your a fan of musicals and your not overly bothered about the director, yes.

Musicals are an acquired taste, and if you like Woody Allen for his straight movies, this one may not be for you. Nonetheless, it is still a fresh movie with a superficial but quirky storyline (à la MGM), and it has great songs from the American songbook. The performance of the said songs are not always great, sorry Julia, but it doesn't matter because they are true to their characters, choreography is awesome and magical. It still got some good witty Woody one-liners, and you can't finish this movie without a bit of nostalgia left in your heart.

A Strange Casting as in putting some of these people in a movie together was strange considering the only time you could of probably seen Goldie Hawn and Julie together would of been a talk show couch. (If they did appear in other stuff or on a talk show together I don't know btw). But it worked I like Julia a Little bit but none of her movies. I've not a lot to say about this movie one word could spoil it, it's a stereotypical Woody Movie. But not like scenes from a mall with bette midler one of his better ones.

The preoccupation with rich, uninteresting, New Yorkers continues to distance his audience from his work more and more with each movie.

Listening to the others sounding like a spouse in the shower makes one wonder: How bad could Barrymore be that she had to be dubbed?

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Though the premise is unoffensive enough, there's still a queasy Allenian sheen to the character he plays in the film...

Warmhearted, original, but not entirely successful tribute to classic Hollywood movies of the 1930s, specifically Capra's You Can't Take It With You.
