The Woodman's finest hour, in this bittersweet love story between a die-hard
New Yorker and a midwestern ditz, about what it really takes to make a
relationship (or two or three) work. Woody Allen is at his best as an actor,
and Diane Keaton has never had a better role. What makes Annie Hall so much
fun, though, is the cameos -- from Paul Simon to Jeff Goldblum's one liner (On
the phone: "I forgot my mantra!"), it's a complete send-up of the 70s. Best is
Christopher Walken as Annie's psychotic brother.
Utterly hilarious, yet it rings absolutely true. A true, and rare, must-see.
