B
"Allen just does what he does, and he does it very well."  AboutFilm.com  Carlo Cavagna

3/5
"surprisingly relaxed"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

C-
""Anything Else" represents low ebb for the comic filmmaker famous for transmuting the work of Ingmar Bergman into New York centric comedies full of neurosis based humor."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

B-
"Oy! Another Woody comedy about a neurotic making the Manhattan scene."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

1.5/4
"Instead of replaying the same storylines and characters,...Allen should refocus his attention on originality."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

2/5
"(...) Valía la pena seguir esperando la siguiente película de Allen; después de Anything Else no estoy tan seguro de ello."  Uruguay Total  Enrique Buchichio

C-
"Woody Allen's Anything Else is what his Annie Hall would have been if he had cast less-talented actors in it and dragged it out for an extra 15 minutes."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1.5/4
"If life is truly like “anything else” as a wise cab driver says in the movie, then surely there has to be more to life than sitting through another disappointing Woody Allen vehicle."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

B
"If you had any lingering doubts that Woody Allen is a sinister man bent on world domination, this should whisk them away."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

C-
"Nothing much...what once might have seemed witty and sophisticated now comes across as tired and recycled."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/4
"There's a lot of truth in the screenplay, and, combined with Ricci's top-notch, can't-take-your- eyes-off-her-when- she's-on-screen performance, this gives the movie a strong spine."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

1/5
"Woody Allen's standard tale of love and neurosis in Manhattan may have new faces in the cast, but it's the same old story."  Netflix  James Rocchi

68/100
"Anything Else is easily one of the funniest movies of the year."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

6/10
"Woody Allen's ANYTHING ELSE is mildly amusing, but that still makes it the best film he has made in a while."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

2.5/4
"Like many recent Woody Allen movies, this one is all about the dialogue and one-liners"  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

C
"But instead of ringing new changes on these themes, he just repeats them off-kilter. The result is like a fax of an oil painting."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

3/5
"Seria ótimo se Allen passasse a dedicar mais tempo ao desenvolvimento de suas idéias. É melhor ver um bom filme a cada dois ou três anos do que sofrer uma decepção todo ano."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

2.5/5
"The script is quite entertaining as it plays with the idea of writing and artistic creation. But the plot itself is mildly annoying and seriously dull."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

C
"The trouble is, Biggs is not nearly as good at this kind of role as Allen. For that matter, Allen is not very convincing as a gun-toting survivalist, either."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

0/4
"So little honesty, so little trace of humanity, that watching it is a little like eating a broken vase, one shard at a time."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
