Annie Hall

I decided to watch Annie Hall, which I think is my first Woody Allen film. I really don't enjoy his nervous jittery acting and humor. I'm kind of surprised this thing tracks at %98 on Rotten Tomatoes. It's not really that funny or much else. Diane Keaton does a pretty good job, Woody Allen is himself, but I suppose the writing is pretty decent. I don't know if it's outdated, or if I just can't get behind Woody Allen at all. Maybe the romantic comedy bone I don't have is an issue, but I just wasn't impressed on really any level. It won a slew of awards, I just don't understand how other than the fact that it came out in 1977 and it was unique and groundbreaking at the time. Getting to the actually film it is Allen's struggle with his relationship with Keaton's character. Bottom Line: 6.6 out of 10. Lacks humor and punch for my liking, but maybe it's because of a general disdain for romantic comedies, so this probably isn't accurate, so there's the disclaimer. I wasn't a fan of anything, but found Keaton's acting to be strong, but that's about all I can say I was impressed by. Random Fact: This was my 300th post, and that just seems crazy to me.
