Anything Else

Woody Allen’s mind-numbingly inconsequential comedy represents another of his narcissistic lows. The writer-director hands the starring role over to Jason Biggs, a neurotic comedy writer stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship with a flighty actress (Christina Ricci), and reduces him to doing a lame Woody Allen impression. If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, Anything Else amounts to yet the latest example of Allen flattering himself.
