	Anything Else (2003) - RUTHLESS REVIEWS: Movies
		Anything Else might not stop the presses for its originality (as a Woody film or otherwise), but I found myself thinking these things during the movie, and it's not very often I get to think at all while sitting in the theater seats.
		I would imagine that if anything these people discussed was brought up in conversation with the average American teen, he or she would run screaming from the table and into the nearest shopping mall.
		Anything Else is indeed an addition to that fine tradition, although it doesn't qualify as top-tier Woody.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Anything Else
		Watching "Anything Else", I got the feeling that everyone was excited to be working and everyone was thrilled to be in their character's shoes.
		With "Anything Else", Allen has done much better than with his most recent films but this movie is still far from his best efforts.
		Just like anything else I would do, I went to the movies, and saw Woody Allen's latest film, "Anything Else"...I was skeptical, with the exception of Hollywood Ending, his latest films have been stupid, but this one is his best since "Everybody Says I Love You", Jason Biggs totally flexes his acting muscle.

	Anything Else
		Jerry has heard the phrase that life is like “anything else,” but he soon finds that life with the unpredictable Amanda isn’t like anything else at all.
		The good news about "Anything Else" is that it's one of the best, most smoothly executed Woody Allen movies in recent years.
		"Anything Else" is really told from two points of view: the sweet-tempered reveries of Jerry, which is what we hear on-screen, and the caustic venom of Dobel, which we get during their jaunts through the city and Central Park.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Woody Allen - 2003 - Anything Else Movies Review
		Anything Else is the first Woody Allen movie that has not been marketed as a Woody Allen movie.
		Allen's character in Anything Else is a teacher who wants to be a comedy writer, and he's an unlikely adviser to neophyte writer Biggs.
		Even if the edges of Anything Else have darkened, Allen is still observing instead of participating, and the only people who can really get excited about his movies are those who insist on taking a film at its word and not on its execution.

	Modamag.com \| Anything Else - Movie Review
		Though it may appear that way at first, “Anything Else” isn’t a chance for Woody Allen to reinvent himself with a cast of youngsters.
		While it isn’t anything destructive to the master filmmaker’s career, it does feature some curious casting and screenwriting choices that might have fans scratching their heads.
		I’ve come to think of “Anything Else” as a “Bugsy Malone” take on “Annie Hall.” It has all the Allen ingredients that are expected, but he’s placed the drama in the hands of two very young actors, Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci.

	Anything Else (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Anything Else is a hysterical look at modern romance that keeps the laughs coming as their relationship spins wildly out of control!
		In the hands of anyone else, I’d view this as parody, but since all of Allen’s characters are like this, I must assume he doesn’t aim for that tone.
		Anything Else appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	MovieMartyr.com - Anything Else
		Anything Else on the surface a frivolous comedy, it should come as no surprise that Allen seems to be smuggling themes of great import within.
		Anything Else is easily one of the funniest movies of the year.
		Anything Else is not similar in tone to the rest of the director’s work.

	Anything Else (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The primary focus is on his relationship with Amanda (Christina Ricci), his neurotic girlfriend, who wants to live with him but not sleep with him, which is something that bothers him a lot more than it bothers her.
		When it comes to Woody Allen films there is a sense that "Anything Else" is a lot like some of Allen's other films as well.
		"Anything Else" is one of the longer Woody Allen films at 108 minutes (I used to be able to show most Woody Allen movies in a 90-minute Interpersonal Communication class), and I end up rounding down because it feels that long as well.

	Metroactive Movies \| 'Anything Else'
		The hard-to-advertise title ("See Anything Else!" might not sell tickets) has an illustration of Jason Biggs carrying Christina Ricci inside a cartoon heart on his back.
		Anything Else has a hurly-burly sequence: a piano that needs moving, a valuable yet slippery vase, a yelling mother, Amanda bumping in, asking solicitously--why?--if this stranger in her house wants a sandwich.
		Anything Else (R; 108 min.), directed and written by Woody Allen, photographed by Darius Khondji and starring Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci, plays countywide.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Anything Else
		With dialogue that seems at times improvised as speakers are regularly interrupted in mid- sentence as are people in real life, "Anything Else" is on the one hand more or less like anything else that Woody Allen has directed.
		"Anything Else," then is partly autobiographical, though some circumstances are fictionalized such as the conclusion in which the Biggs character is on his way to L.A. because that's where the big bucks are for comedy writers.
		Biggs (that is, the 67-year-old Allen at the age of 25 or so) performs in the role of Jerry Falk, an upcoming writer who dashes off scripts for the equally youthful men and women who use Comedy Corner and other New York locales to get their start in the biz.

		But Anything Else is pretty good, not a classic Allen picture, but a solid one nonetheless, and within the scope of his career offers some interesting complements and contradictions.
		Anything Else is about fifteen minutes too long, and an edit of that length may have also trimmed out some of the jokes that don’t work.
		The answer to the “Anything else?” question will continue to be answered for quite a while.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Anything Else
		Anything Else (2003), like a lot of Allen's recent work, breaks almost no new ground, with the writer-director-actor revisiting, for the second and third time around, characters and situations and jokes done better before.
		Anything Else stars Jason Biggs as a rising comedy writer, Jerry Falk, saddled but nevertheless obsessed with a neurotic, would-be free-spirited actress (Christina Ricci).
		Anything Else is notable as Allen's first 'scope film since Manhattan.

		Jerry has heard the phrase that love is like anything else, but he soon finds that being in love with the unpredictable Amanda isn't like anything else at all.
		The dialogue in Woody Allen's "Anything Else" is an exercise of neurotic bravery, a defense against fear and insecurity.
		"Anything Else" feels tired and warmed over, with nothing to say about relationships, or writing, or even New York itself, that Allen hasn't said countless times before.

	The Leader - Anything Else (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Which is why, from this perspective, Anything Else is perfectly structured: Allen is able to concoct his usual story of sex and insanity, but without him as the centerpiece.
		Indeed, Anything Else has the darkest vein in an Allen movie since Deconstructing Harry, but such pessimism is always portrayed with a balance of humor.
		Love and sex (perhaps it's the other way around?) are Allen's favorite topics, but in Anything Else he parallels those with the creative process, the act of maturity, and the development of a platonic relationship, stressing optimistically that all of life's "big issues" will work out in the end.

	Anything Else
		Anything Else is a film about infatuation, the mistaken belief that anything is any more than anything else.
		It's not a profound movie, and its sustained cynicism may be too much for anyone not seduced by the jazz and the cooky survivalist subplot.
		It's like anything else, but really we all know that not everything is.

		Once you understand all of this you have to realize that with even suction, nothing is going to pull on anything else unless you can make a connection, so you now know that gravity is not a pull and that fl holes do not exist.
		Everything in the universe is being pushed by some degree by everything else in the universe from a distance that it is possible for light to travel.
		I say that everything in the universe will be affected to some degree by everthing else in the universe out to a distance that it is possible for light to travel.

	Anything Else
		Anything Else is a return of sorts for Woody Allen to the more character driven works that he made during the late 70's and early 80's, which is welcome after his broader, more farcial works as of late.
		There is a nice scene where she sings a little jazz in the apartment that reminds the audience what a great voice she has, but leaves us wishing we could know this character a little more.
		Overall, I found Anything Else to be a very satisfying film with lots of laughs and some wonderful, smart characters.

	Anything Else (2003): Reviews
		Anything Else may not be the second coming of "Annie Hall," but it has more wit and substance than almost every post-college romance that sees the inside of a projection booth.
		With every recycled piece of business -- which is to say, every scene in Anything Else -- the distance widens between Allen and the elusive audience he pessimistically chases.
		Allen was kind of like the superhero of geekdom, who always outwitted those stronger and dumber than he; Anything Else is Allen's kryptonite; he's rendered helpless.

		Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
		Neurotic Jewish writer Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs) is in love with beautiful aspiring actress Amanda (Christina Ricci), who has several troubling flaws: she hasn't had sex with him in six months, her mother's just moved into their tiny apartment, and she has a pretty nasty eating disorder to boot.
		Ricci provides a vaguely new character for an Allen film, but her presence and her delivery are painfully film-school stilted, as are Biggs' when he's not sharing the screen with Allen.

		Anything Else came along in 2003, to very little hype I guess, since I never saw it posted at any theaters.
		I stood up and walked away from this movie thinking, "Oh my God, I'm never getting married." The kind of relationships that blossom and wither in Anything Else are devastatingly morbid, and not just the lovey-dovey ones, but practically all of them.
		Obviously, Anything Else is more character-driven than plot-driven, but most of the characters are so totally wacky and weird that I didn't know what to think half the time.

	Anything Else
		Anything Else is Woody Allen's latest effort, his attempt to pass the torch to a new generation of Manhattan neurotics.
		In fact, it is very similar to Annie Hall in many ways, except that this time the Woodman has promoted himself to the position of Neurotic Emeritus, and has passed the official role of Leading Romantic Nebbish to Jason Biggs, the kid from the American Pie movies.
		Apart from that change in the nature of the hero and heroine, you could call Anything Else an update of Annie Hall.

	Review: Anything Else (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		With Anything Else, Woody Allen is attempting something that is simultaneously similar yet different from his past projects.
		The good news is that Anything Else is a distinct improvement over Allen's recent spate of forgettable, disappointing motion pictures.
		The jokes in Anything Else are a cut above those in the last three or four Allen films.

		CAPSULE: Woody Allen's ANYTHING ELSE is mildly amusing, but that still makes it the best film he has made in a while.
		Susan Granger's review of "Anything Else" (DreamWorks) I'm a devoted Woody Allen fan but even I was hard-pressed to find anything funny in this lackluster romantic comedy that feebly re-hashes "Annie Hall" for a younger generation.
		Anything Else doesn't measure up to the writer/director's best work, but is that really a fair comparison to make?

	Anything Else (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Falk is a young writer, making a living writing comedy, but working on the Great American Novel--naturally it's about "a godless world, an empty universe, and human suffering." Allen stays in the picture, casting himself as Falk's friend and mentor, David Dobel, a high scool teacher who writes comedy as a sideline.
		Anything Else has the broad sweep of a (slightly delayed) coming-of-age film, with the naive Falk slowly realizing (with Dobel's help) how he let's himself be used and manipulated by the people in his life.
		And Falk's analyst sits in his chair, stone-faced as he listens to Falk's quandaries, never once offering anything but the vapidities of non-directive therapy, answering questions with "How do you feel about that?" Allen's hostility to shrinks is palpable throughout.

	Anything Else - Movie Review (In any relationship, one person always does the heavy lifting.)
		'Anything Else' might be a difficult DVD to rent (ask the bloke behind the counter if he's got 'Anything Else', and he'll doubtless reply "only what you see, mate" - it could conceivably go on all day), but it's worth it.
		As a nice touch, Biggs talks intermittently to the camera, and Woody himself pops up as a would-be mentor (as in, he "would be" a mentor if the advice he was dishing out wasn't so appalling) to the troubled twenty-something.
		Ricci, meanwhile, delivers a cracking performance, and her striking good looks are infinitely more captivating than anything the stage hypnotist could ever have conjured up in Allen's 2001 project 'The Curse of the Jade Scorpion'.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Anything Else (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Anything Else (2003) amounts to something of a bizarre out-of-body experience for Allen — it flatly recycles material from his excellent 1977-1985 period, but replaces his company of actors with younger stand-ins.
		Ricci is better, but her character is little more than a vapid tease, far removed from the smart, complicated, and daffy female characters Allen was once celebrated for crafting.
		For all that, Anything Else is Allen's best-looking movie in at least 10 years (save for maybe 1998's fl-and-white Celebrity, which should only ever be watched with muted audio), thanks to great work by cinematographer Darius Khondji.
