Woody's latest
NYT says Anything Else is better than Hollywood Ending and Small Time Crooks and Woody Allen's other recent, lesser films, because some of the jokes are actually funny. As you might expect, Christina Ricci is a highlight, playing her role of the difficult girlfriend with "feral, neurotic glee". Ebert likes it too, but then, look at all the movies he gave three stars to this week. Yeah, like Secondhand Lions. Ebert notes how weird it is that the trailer for Anything Else doesn't let on that Woody is actually in the movie himself, in a significant supporting role. Clearly, the studio no longer thinks he's box office gold. Stephen Hunter, however, thinks he's clearly the best part of the movie.
