Top CriticNone of this adds up to much of a movie; it's more like a filmed hodgepodge of not-fully- thought-out ideas and one-liners and small shards of jaundiced polemic.

Top CriticCuriously, Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci come out better than I imagined after being compelled to play out the movie's sadomasochistic tag line.

Top CriticI didn't laugh once.

Top CriticWho knows what sense an American Pie-digging, Woodman-ignorant undergrad might make of the canned rhythms, the trilobite-era one-liners, the awkward declarative dialogue, the Catskills-resort frames of reference, the freshman philosophy.

Top CriticThere is nothing to set this work apart from any number of mediocre Allen films.
09/21/03
Top CriticThere's a lot of truth in the screenplay, and, combined with Ricci's top-notch, can't-take-your- eyes-off-her-when- she's-on-screen performance, this gives the movie a strong spine.
09/20/03
Top CriticAt times it seems as if we're watching a high school production of Woody Allen.
09/20/03
Top CriticAnything Else isn't just the latest Woody Allen movie; it's also the smallest.
09/20/03
Top CriticThe movie doesn't have the energy to be truly horrible. It's too muted and enervated. But it's a somewhat tedious thing to sit through.
09/19/03
Top CriticTwo Woody Allens, two kvetching, whining, neurotic incompetents bungling their lives, being taken advantage of, furiously resenting the universe, which will not notice them until it decides to kill them . . . that's one too many Woody Allens.

Top CriticIt's as locked in ritual as Monday nights at Michael's Pub, Central Park walks or afternoons at Village record stores.
09/19/03
Top CriticIt has taken Allen over 30 years, but he has finally made a movie that's almost unwatchable.
09/19/03
Top CriticThis anxious comedy wobbles like a retread of Annie Hall.
09/19/03
Top CriticJoining the small list of male actors who have taken the lead in an Allen film ... Biggs also proves himself to be the least engaging, or interesting, of the lot, coming across much more like an innocent bystander than the centerpiece of an urban comedy.
09/19/03
Top CriticPerhaps the worst of the 67-year-old auteur's 34 features.
09/19/03
Top CriticThis relentlessly mediocre romantic comedy is basically a pretty arthritic third-generation Xerox of Annie Hall.
09/19/03
Top CriticA return to the Allen of old.
