This is my kind of romantic comedy. That possibly speaks volumes about my own neurosis and the problems in my relationships. Oh well. Does it also mean that I'm complicated, intelligent, funny, and interesting like Alvy and Annie? God, I hope so! I also give Allen loads of bonus points for breaking from cliché and having our leads not wind up together in some pat Hollywood manner. Diane Keaton is hilarious as the flighty, complicated, neurotic, and lovable titular character. She deserved that Oscar from the first time she uttered out "La-dee-daa." There are all sorts of classic bits in this movie, and my favorite is the sequence where Alvy admits he always loved the Wicked Queen from Snow White, and there is a following animated sequence where the wicked queen (with Annie's voice -- natch!) cracks that she doesn't have a period; she's a cartoon. Classic Allen at his finest.
