Pros: The best romantic comedy in the last 30 years.
Cons: absolutely none.
Summary: Annie Hall is the quintessential Woody Allen film. Though he might have dismissed it himself at times, the public embraced this film more than any other he has ever released (with the possible exception of Hannah and Her Sisters), and it is...

Pros: Woody Allen style humor, creative use of film-making and story...
Cons: Frank discussions about the negative sides of relationships ...
Summary: What we have here is a romantic comedy. I’m not sure that I’d call it all that romantic, however, due to the realistic ending. But the film is humorous with Woody Allen’s dry style of humor, and is at least about a romance, even if the film ...

Pros: some funny moments and fun cameos
Cons: mostly I found it rather boring
Summary: I write this review with trepidation because I am about to confess that I was not impressed with Annie Hall. I've heard the movie is iconic, and a post-viewing investigation revealed that it has an average rating of five stars here and an ...

Pros: Good flick to catch with your beaux or lady friend.
Cons: I mean really.....do I have to write something negative?
Summary: A dear friend of mine showed me Annie Hall at the tender age of seventeen and I can honestly say that ten years later, it is still one of my favorites. This movie is a love story that explores the many ups and downs of a relationship between a stand up ...

Pros: Great date movie, quirky.
Cons: Not really any.
Summary: You know that old joke where Woody Allen makes another pointless film? Of course you do, but it’s not to say you won’t like this one.
While most of his movies may be lacking in several areas, “Annie Hall”, a quirky romantic comedy, lacks only a...

Pros: Funny, poignant, great characters
Cons: A little overlong
Summary: Annie Hall is the only romantic comedy that I like. It was essentially the first romantic comedy, the great accomplishment that pale popcorn flicks like You've Got Mail will never be able to stand up next to. The characters are neurotic, complex, utterly...

Pros: Tender and funny
Cons: none
Summary: This movie is Woody Allen at his neurotic best. Allen captures the quirkiness of a relationship between a woman who is from the mid-West, and who carries all the values and baggage of that up-bringing, and a man who is chained to Manhattan. This movie...

Pros: Laugh out loud comedy and awkward romantic comedy. Imitated, stolen from, never topped.
Cons: Some (just a few)of the jokes feel a bit stale--even though they were once original and fresh
Summary: Annie Hall was a big departure for Woody, because it was the first of his ‘serious' and romantic comedies and marked the turn away from his ‘earlier funnier picture' and toward his more autobiographical contemplative films. It was (and still is) his...

Pros: Innovative techniques, trendsetting, hilarious, Allen and Keaton together again
Cons: beginning is a little confusing
Summary: Although "Manhattan" is considered Woody Allen's best film, I'd probably say that "Annie Hall" is the better film. It was a slight different method amongst Allen's usual filmaking approach, and involved many breakthrough techniques...

Pros: Great storytelling, talented ensemble
Cons: None
Summary: When I first bought a VCR back in 1983, I made "Annie Hall" one of the first tapes I added to my collection. I'm working on my third VCR, but I haven't worn out this tape yet. Every time I watch this movie, I find something new to admire about...

Pros: all the jokes
Cons: the boring opening credits
Summary: If ever there was anyone skilled at taking the little things in life-- relationships, death, traumatizing childhoods, standing in line at the movies near a guy who just won't shut up-- and making them funny, it's Woody Allen, and this is the film that...

Pros: good acting, good dialogue
Cons: none
Summary: Annie Hall completely amazed me with its quick wit, humorous anecdotes
and its message. I felt it was great film in the way it presented Annie and Alvy as a mismatched, but lovable couple. I thought that Woody Allen
accomplished this by his...

Pros: very well-written, brilliantly filmed
Cons: none
Summary: I find that people either love or hate Woody Allen, no in betweens. I happen to think he's brilliant. Say what you will about his personal life, I could care less. He's still one of the greatest film makers of our time, and he deserves a lot more...

Pros: Very funny and realistic
Cons: Plot is a little confused; direction style somewhat overdone
Summary: Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" was one of the first romantic comedies to focus on the more awkward side of relationships, rather than the happy, glamorous side. It is a movie that is realistic and often extremely funny, but also somewhat undone by...
