Amazon.co.uk Review
IAnnie Hall/I is one of the truest, most bittersweet romances on film. In it, Allen plays a thinly disguised version of himself: Alvy Singer, a successful--if neurotic--television comedian living in Manhattan. Annie (the wholesomely luminous Dianne Keaton) is a Midwestern transplant who dabbles in photography and sings in small clubs. When the two meet, the sparks are immediate--if repressed. Alone in her apartment for the first time, Alvy and Annie navigate a minefield of self-conscious "is-this-person-someone-I'd-want-to-get-involved-with?" conversation. As they speak, subtitles flash their unspoken thoughts: the likes of "I'm not smart enough for him" and "I sound like a jerk". Despite all their caution, they connect, and we're swept up in the flush of their new romance. Allen's antic sensibility shines here in a series of flashbacks to Alvy's childhood, growing up, quite literally, under a rumbling roller coaster. His boisterous Jewish family's dinner table shares a split screen with the WASP-y Hall's tight-lipped holiday table, one Alvy has joined for the first time. His position as outsider is incontestable when he looks down the table and sizes up Annie's "Grammy Hall" as "a classic Jew-hater".pThe relationship arcs, as does Annie's growing desire for independence. It quickly becomes clear that the two are on separate tracks, as what was once endearing becomes annoying. IAnnie Hall/I embraces Allen's central themes--his love affair with New York (and hatred of Los Angeles), how impossible relationships are, and his fear of death. But their balance is just right, the chemistry between Allen's worry-wart Alvy and Keaton's gangly, loopy Annie is one of the screen's best pairings. It couldn't be more engaging. --ISusan Benson/I

 Disappointment December 10, 2008
After reading all the reviews and all the critical acclaim, I was expecting a right good film. But it turned out to be a disappointment.br /br /I can see why it would be highly regarded at the time. Key phase "at the time". The different style and storytelling would have been radically different to what move-goers would have been used to many moons ago. Now I feel it's living on its reputation.br /br /I'll be honest and say I never made it past halfway. The thought of watching two numpties babbling on for another 40 minutes had me reaching for the remote. True, the chemistry between the two characters is really good, but as I said previously, they're a couple of numpties.br /br /I don't think I'll be watching another Woody Allen film after this. Looks like he's one of those guys you either love or hate. Me personally, I can't stand listening to him rabbit on about garbage all the time. Shut up and pull yourself together man!
 SO HOW MUCH IS HERE? OH THAT'S ABOUT 2 GRAND PER OUNCE.' June 24, 2008

Interesting film. Complex, if slightly annoying characters who tend to either argue, produce witty anecdotes or whine about how the sex in their relationship is non exsistant. Woody Allen gets on my nerves but I knew this was a film I had to watch as I slowly worked my way through the latest 'hundred greatest films' list, put together no doubt by a group of people who all know each other. I'm not sure why this is on the list but there are some comic moments and yes, although aggrivating, Woody Allen is strangly loveable by the end of the film, although his attitude to women is weirdly uncomfortable and stifling to watch, moving from break up to break up to marriage proposals within an hour and a half. One to watch, but I'm sure his genius is more widely enjoyed in other films.
The work of a complete self obsessive August 12, 2007
4 out of 18 found this review helpful
Cleverly assembled montage of a film, shows some craft, but his material hadn't evolved one day, from the time he first put a pen to paper. The jokes are someimes very funny, but just as often rather strained. They are all basically on the same theme. He always delivers them as though he's just written a little masterpiece but you get the idea you've heard him tell the same joke, put differently, a hundred times before. What he is really good at is the visual gag, and it's this he should have concentrated more on in movies in place of the old stand-up's one liners. That said, he is naturally a funny bloke, and must be one of the original alternative comedians, as he was always a Liberal and PC long before it became compulsory in mainstream comedy. However, what gets my goat about many of his films, and this one in particular is the subject of them. It never changes, it's about HIM, HIM, HIM. Manhattan was much the same, but you could really see him trying to get away from himself at last there, and expanding to include other things. Here, he's having a self indulgent convulsion. 'Okay we know who you are now Woody, MOVE ON!'
 Woody's first great film July 22, 2007

This is the first Woody Allen film (1977) to be more than just an outright wacky comedy, because although this has great comedy moments throughout, it also has a lot to say about relationships.br /br /Allen plays a successful stand-up comedian Alvy Singer, who falls in love with night club singer the Annie Hall of the title. The few stand-up scenes are great, because ten years earlier Woody Allen was a stand-up comedian and he makes it seem so natural. br /br /"I...interestingly had, uh, dated...a woman in the Eisenhower Administration...briefly...and, uh, it was ironic to me 'cause, uh ... tsch ... 'cause I was trying to do to her what Eisenhower has been doing to the country for the last eight years"br /br /Surreal moments occur in which little frustrations of Allens's come out. Such as when waiting in the queue at the cinema. A man is giving his slightly pretentious opinion to his girlfriend about Marshall McLuhan, and rather loudly. Alvy gets annoyed and introduces the man to Marshall McLuhan who promptly tells the man "you know nothing of my work....".br /br /In perhaps the most famous scene in the film Alvy and Annie go back to her apartment and standing on the balcony they talk awkardly. We hear them talk but see what they are think in subtitles:br /br /Alvy: Photography's interesting, 'cause, you know, it's-it's a new art form, and a, uh, a set of aesthetic criteria have not emereged yet. (subtitled - I wonder what she looks like naked?)br /br /In many ways this is Woody Allens perfect film. It still has a huge comedic element to it, but under the comedy there are some serious points made. Overall I probably would choose Manhattan over this, but whilst Manhattan is cinematically a greater film, crucially it probably isn't as entertaining. You should own both!
 Because we need the eggs July 1, 2007

"Annie Hall" is a very Seventies movie that,thirty years on,now seems a little dated. It is best described as a romantic comedy , but it is an intellectual film far removed from the dumbed down chick flicks of today. "Annie Hall" never gives us belly laughs but it is incessantly witty and humourous with Woody Allen and Diane Keaton in top form. The film tells the story of the love affair between the neurotic New York comedian Alvey Singer (Allen)and kooky nightclub singer Annie Hall (Keaton). They fall in and out of love in a roller coaster romance that is the epitome of just how irrational,difficult and maddening modern relationships can be. However ,as Allen's character points out at the end of the movie, this still doesn't stop us from constantly coming back for more.
