Not Funny. Not Entertaining, A Little Warm Hearted
31 December 2022
This is a slightly warmhearted story of a person eventually breaking out of some personal issues for the sake of love. However, the movie is not funny and has little entertainment value, except for what I point out in the.first sentence.

There is a possibility that my thinking was influenced by the fact this was the movie the followed the prior year Academy Award winner. For me this would be more than a let down, and more of a fall-off-the-cliff down when compared to that often televised movie that has 7 sequels to date. Chances are you might be familiar with that movie, "Rocky".

Musically this was in a word, terrible, Annie Hall who is played by Diane Keaton, is a singer, who sings some of the worst music ever written. If they cut those songs out of the movie, it would have been a better movie,

The movie focuses on Alvie Singer who is played by Woody Allen, This person is breathtakingly self centered. He is also the character that lives the over-examined life The more I watched this, the less I cared about him. Again, my thinking about this lead character, might be influenced by the fact this movie followed Rocky as the Academy Award winner.

I saw this movie on TV decades ago, but could not make it through to the end. I bought a copy of the DVD, decades ago, but never watched it. Considering someone gave this movie an Academy Award, as "Best Picture", I watched it completely last evening.. Chances are, I will never watch this again.
