In this romantic comedy-drama written and directed by Woody Allen, a struggling New York artist (Allen) tries to help his younger protege (Jason Biggs) through problems with his girlfriend (Christina Ricci), while avoiding her over-protective father (Danny DeVito).[TRAILER]


STEVEN SNYDER'S REVIEW

So much of “Anything Else’s” success rests on the past experiences of those who see it. Jerry (Jason Biggs) and Amanda (Christina Ricci) are a dysfunctional couple who have no business being together. Jerry is insecure, letting Amanda walk all over him. And Amanda is selfish and neurotic – a woman who wants everything from Jerry until she gets bored. Granted, what you’re reading has a man’s slant, but that’s exactly the point. “Anything Else” zeroes in on the pains of love – pains that will be funnier for those who have been burnt one too many times. Written and directed by Woody Allen, it is funnier than most of his recent works, and sees him in a role that suits him better than his recent efforts – a quirky, paranoid and self-absorbed mentor for Jerry who seems to know everything about life except how to live it like a normal person.
