Everyone Says I Love You DVD

Advantages: Weirdly funny
Disadvantages: Basically a really stupid film

...the whole thing a musical! Everyone has to sing but me, even though they can't - wouldn't that be great? Sounds like a smash, Mr Allen. Now let's see, who do I want to sing? How about Drew Barrymore? Yes! And even better, how about Tim Roth? Cast him as a tough-as-nails escaped convict, then get him to do a big song-and-dance routine to seduce Drew. I'm sure he'll be only too happy, Mr Allen. And I want Edward Norton to sing My Baby Just Cares ...
...on the phone to his agent, Mr Allen. And so on.... Well, you get the picture. And to be honest, it was only by spotting the loony things Woody was clearly scripting to take the piss that my flat mate and I managed to enjoy this film. It is, as I said at the beginning, a piece of complete nonsense, as acted (and sung - even though none of them can - and danced) by some of the finest names in Hollywood, for reasons that I am at a loss to explain. ...

Advantages: Woody Allen to music, now there's something new
Disadvantages: It just is not that good.

...Mall). What surprises me with Everyone Says I Love You is that, having watched it twice on video and once at the cinema, and have nothing much but indifference for it. The plot revolves (not surprisingly) around a New York family, filled with neurosis and utterly dysfunctional. Nothing new there then. We have mother (Goldie Hawn) who is, among other things, dysfunctional and neurotic, who champions prison reform as one of her liberal causes. Naturally ...
...was bittersweet and touching, in Everyone it is plain annoying. All in all, disappointing to say the least. Not half as many funny bits as there should, or could, have been, and a lack lustre cast raking over old coals. The film seems to be trying to appeal to Allen and non Allen fans alike. Woody Allen is such a required taste that not many films can do that, Annie Hall and Bullets Over Broadway being possible exceptions. The films main strength, ... Read review

Advantages: Wonderful cast, enchanting songs, and extremely funny...

...care though. As for EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU, this is arguably Woody's most unusual and unexpected film, a musical with great actors who can't really sing...but a film that is highly enjoyable and irresistable nonetheless. When I saw ESILY in the theater, it probably had Allen's best ensemble to date: Goldie Hawn, Edward Norton, Drew Barrymore, Alan Alda, Tim Roth, Julia Roberts, just to name a few, who prance around from Venice to Paris to New York ...
