La-dee-da, la-dee-da. Woody Allen's 1977 Best Picture winner
"Annie Hall" is considered his masterpiece and marked
his shift from slapstick zany comedies to more heady,
romantic fair.
This movie is patient zero for annoying, pretentious,
pseudo-intellectual romantic comedies that followed (think Rob
Reiner, Nora Ephron, Nancy Meyers, Kevin Smith, etc.).
And it has more shoehorned-in references that would even make
Dennis Miller, Aaron Sorkin and the people behind "Gilmore
Girls" cringe.
Diane Keaton plays the title character, an empty vessel from
the Midwest who inexplicably dates a little bespectacled ghoul.
Woody Allen plays that ghoul, Alvy Singer, who acts as this
woman's emotional prison warden and fills her head with his own
nonsense until she dumps him. He whines about it and tells us
about all of his exes and his upbringing, as if any of that
matters. It's just Woody Allen being himself. Well, without the
whole dating his step-daughter thing.
Join us as we discuss how this 90-minute movie was originally
supposed to be much longer, Jim's weird attraction to hot lady
cartoons, and a long breakdown of the downsides of time travel.
