I couldn't look away from this. The script and one-liners were Woody Allen at his best, even if Anything Else descended into shouting matches a little too often.
It was somewhat strange watching Jason Biggs working with a script like this and throwing around the type of vocabulary here - quite unlike the American Pie films. But his awkward character traits suited a Woody Allen film perfectly.
Christina Ricci delivered a good performance too, albeit incredibly annoying and trigger-inducing for me who has encountered an Amanda or two in my dating past.
The cinematography was beautiful and often a feast for the eyes. The story itself didn't go anywhere fast, but it was satisfying enough and I enjoyed it. Way better than I thought it would be.
