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

Reviews for Anything Else
Top CriticFilled with the sort of sharp, dirty laughs and biting observations on life, love and sex for which the director, in his youth, was once fearlessly known.

Unlike the wan doodles Woody's been cranking out for the past few years, this dark, often hilarious cacophony boasts a mile-wide ugly streak I found immensely satisfying.
10/08/03
The whole movie feels like a warm-up, a dusting off of cobwebs, like Woody Allen has just woken from a long nap and is finally ready to get back to work.
10/07/03
Displaying what is both good and bad about Allen, Anything Else has enough laugh out loud moments to make it worthwhile.
10/05/03
Largely joyless in it's apathetic birds-eye view of shotgun romance.
10/03/03
Far more vital than Allen's last few pictures, Anything Else should serve as lifesaving tourniquet; It's no cure for wounded fans but it'll stop the bleeding.

Ricci is perfectly cast, and seems to relish her character's blend of cruelty and cluelessness.

Anything Else dangerously embraces the vibes of mediocrity and that’s a crying shame for an artist so capably adventurous as Allen once was in his heyday of potent hilarity.

I didn't laugh once.

Top CriticWoody Allen's Anything Else is what his Annie Hall would have been if he had cast less-talented actors in it and dragged it out for an extra 15 minutes.

What would Freud say?
09/26/03
Easily the most enjoyable Allen flick since Everyone Says I Love You, and on a par with his 1970s and early 1980s work.
09/26/03
While no one will mistake Anything Else as being worthy of comparison to Allen’s best work, it’s refreshing to see the bespectacled genius lay his cards out on the table once again.
09/25/03
Like many recent Woody Allen movies, this one is all about the dialogue and one-liners
09/25/03
Woody Allen's ANYTHING ELSE is mildly amusing, but that still makes it the best film he has made in a while.
