Who should watch
Woody Allen fans. Those who want to like dialogue-heavy, quirky romantic comedies.
Thoughts
Arguably Allen's best film and my favorite of his works. If you're going to only see one Woody Allen film in your life, this is the one to enjoy.
Like any Allen film, it was full of colorful, whip-smart dialogue. But what made this so special was the two lead characters that felt like genuine, quirky people whom I would have loved to be friends with.
The characters were wonderful, and the actors naturally brought them to life. It totally deserved all the Oscars, especially Diane Keaton.
Christopher Walken's minor role as a psycho brother. That's all I need to say.
As much as I relished the hilarious dialogue, strangely some of my favorite scenes were of unexpected slapstick, such has Allen sneezing into a plate of cocaine and Allen attempting to kill a spider.
What I would change
Nothing.
Random
See if you can spot Jeff Goldblum and Sigourney Weaver.
