ANYTHING ELSE is a bit like a re-imagining of ANNIE HALL in that it chronicles the kindling and the demise of a relationship as told by a fourth-wall smashing protagonist (Jason Biggs). Woody Allen’s character in the film is even more insane than usual, it’s fun to see Woody attack a burly New Yorker’s car and try to teach Jason Biggs how take a gun apart and put it back together in the dark. It’s a pretty funny movie and another underrated entry in his canon, it took Quentin Tarantino to declare it one of his favorite movies of the last 17 years for people to stop and look back at it.
- Currently 3.0/5 Stars.

Anything else…
a lot people talk about “anything else” at the moment because of Tarantino`s Top 20 from 1992-today…
I just rewatched the movie, remembering close to nothing from my first viewing… And I have to admit it’S not too bad at all… I mean it has flaws, but what I really liked about it was the (de)structuring… it reminded me a lot of Eternal sunshine… because of the whole “remembering” thing in it… and it reminded me of the work of Arthur Miller ( here especially Afer the Fall – which, by the way, is an awesome theatre play!) ..
I think the dialogue is great as always in every Allen film, so it is just a good watch… I think it can even improve with multiple viewings…
