Annie Hall

First off, I thought that the movie was pretty good. I mean, I really haven't seen a lot of Woody Allen movies, but I've heard mostly good things about his movies. Anyways, getting to the question of if Allen's comedic style is successful, and in my eyes, I think it is successful. The movie is sort of Seinfeld-esque, with Woody Allen being kind of like George mixed in with a little bit of Jerry, I think that it made a pretty good romantic comedy. If some parts of the movie are some of the motives for Seinfeld, it would not surprise me because it is sort of dry humor and sort of observational humor, which I enjoy. So overall, since it is like Seinfeld (which is one of my favorite shows) I enjoyed it and think that Woody Allen's approach to his comedy in Annie Hall was terrific, but not the type of humor that I am into. If it was a lot more slapstick and a lot more crude (yes I know that is a little weird because this is pretty crude) I would probably enjoy it more. I do kind of like the asides that are used to talk to the camera and the sort of flashbacks that were used to see Annie's past boyfriends. Overall, this movie was pretty good, but I was not in love with it, but I respect it.
