Amazon.com:
Christina Ricci invigorates an even-more-neurotic-than-usual variation on the classic neurotic woman in this Woody Allen movie. Comedy writer Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs, American Pie) is madly in love with Amanda (Ricci, The Opposite of Sex), even though they haven't had sex in six months. Falk meets an older writer named Dobel (Allen) who becomes a sort of accidental mentor, encouraging him to break free of Amanda and his clinging agent (Danny DeVito). The pace is sluggish, almost every scene feels like an outtake from an earlier, better Woody Allen movie (particularly Annie Hall), Biggs never seems comfortable with his dialogue--only Ricci makes her character her own, giving her own perverse comic spin to the proceedings. About three-fourths of the way through the movie, the story starts to feel fresher and more compelling, but by then it's too late. Also featuring Jimmy Fallon and Stockard Channing. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Woody Redux
In this seemingly endless review of Woody Allen's work that I have undertaken over the past year or so I have noted in some reviews that the legendary comic, actor, writer, director and producer has on occasion repeated himself. I have also noted that if one lives long enough (and is productive enough) that is bound to occur. That is the case with Anything Else but where previously the repeated intellectual banter and sight gags were tiresome this little 2003 film was rather refreshing.

Rating:  - I loved it, but then I love Woody
How did Woody slip this one by me. I hadn't even heard of it, but I got it and loved it. If you love Woody Allen films, this is more of the same stuff that's made you laugh in the past. Christina Ricci is perfect as the fickle love interest, and Stockard Channing is likewise great in her role as the mom who moves in and won't move out. Great fun.
Rating:  - Horrible piece of tripe
Unless you've got two hours to kill, and are a masochist, skip this movie. I ignored the bad reviews on here, thinking "it can't be THAT bad with actors like Christina Ricci, Jason Biggs, and Danny DeVito". I was wrong. It truly IS that bad; perhaps worse.
The good: Christina Ricci playing an extremely sexy, yet immature and grating character; Jason Biggs doing an exceptional job with a poorly-written script; Danny DeVito doing an amazing job with a small role; a couple of other attractive ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent. Christina Ricci Shines.
Thought I'd write a positive review for a change. Unfortunately a lot of negative reviews have brought this film's ratings down. That shouldn't come as a surprise considering the apparent lack of aesthetic, taste and judgment of people. What did come as a surprise is that all these negative reviews get a collective rating from users that is close to 20/500. That's an aside to this review but amazon had better find a way to incorporate how people rate reviews to their overall product score. You cant get say ... Read More
Rating: - Woody Allen's worst film ever!
Anything Else is so boring, pointless, and just a complete mess. Who knew the very talented Woody Allen would write and direct a total stinker. The storyline is so awful, I stopped caring about these pathetic characters halfway through. Christina Ricci deserves a better movie than this. If you want a great Woody Allen movie then I suggest, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and her Sisters, hey anything than this!
