Summary: Great movie!
Review: Last year, I watched about 300 movies or DVDs or videos. This one is one of the few that I can still remember the name now. What a deep impression it gave me. I can still recall some of the singing and dancing and all those typical woody-style jokes. :-)
Well, do tell your phycologist about your inner most secrets, watch out the diamond ring in the dish...
I love this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: One for Woody Allen Fans Only!
Review: Sorry to act as the skeleton at the feast but why all the 5* reviews? This is clearly a film which shows that Mr. Allen is as fallible as any film director and just as capable of churning out substandard work?

I have enjoyed his work over the past 25+ years - especially the recent "Deconstructing Harry" which was excellent. Clearly Mr. Allen is at his best when he's being funny - something he does so well. He also has proclivity for wanting to create films which are nostalgic and romantic. In my view he is not bad at this but he is not particularly good either.

This film failed to draw me in and I have to admit that I was not sufficiently interested to watch it all the way through. On that basis I would hesitate to recommend it. I'd advise you to spend your money on the aforementioned "Deconstructing Harry" which is every bit as funny and mordant as his earlier films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Flawless, Accurate & Funny
Review: This movie is simply great. It flows incredibly well. It is paced yet fast enough. The musical numbers are long enough to enjoy, yet short enough not to get bored with and want the next scene to start already. There is a story here: It is the story of a querky family --- a family that resembles everyone's family in some form or another. You will relate at least a little. Side note: This is a film where everyone is ditzy and somewhat in space, yet they are incredibly smart. This is a world where everyone says I love you without a second thought. However, they appear to mean it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sit back and enjoy
Review: EVERYBODY SAYS I LOVE YOU is that kind of movie that you should just sit back and enjoy. If it can be said that Woody Allen made a folksy movie, this is the one. The dialogue is light. The humor isn't Woody Allen deep, but it's easy on the psych. The dancing is skillfully done. The singing is so great that you want to squirm into the choruses. Watch this movie. The best funeral scene you'll ever see is in it. Now's the time to smile and grin with the characters in EVERYBODY SAYS I LOVE YOU. It's later than you think.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Entertaining
Review: Woody Allen is a genius. I have only watched 5 of his movies (Annie Hall, Radio Days, Bullets over Broadway, Mighty Aphrodite and this), but it is incredible how I get sucked into everything he does.

This is my favourite second film of his- right after Annie Hall- it's so fun, so hilarious that it's easy to imagine you're watching one of those classic musicals such as The Pajama Game.

The cast is humangous: Woody Allen, Goldie Hawn, Natalie Portman, Drew Barrymore, Lucas Haas, Tim Roth, Julia Roberts and Edward Norton is just some of it. They all act great, and with great wit.

The scenes are hilarious, espacially the music scenes. This is one that can be watched over and over again. It's worth seeing the actors sing alone.

Thank you Mr. Allen. You have once again bestowed us with a masterpiece. What a beautiful movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Musical - Silly & Very Predictable.
Review: Goldie Hawn, Alan Alda, Julia Roberts and the other cast members all did a great job acting, it's just that I wasn't expecting it to be a musical. Usually I don't mind them, but this movie grated on my nerve. I didn't even watch the movie all the way through, which is HIGHLY unlike me.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hilarious! Woody goes musical!
Review: This is a great movie! It is very funny! Highly recommended

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Low-octane Woody, but still funny
Review: By any standards (especially amongst Woody Allen connesseurs), this film is Woody-lite to the max; but that's fine, because it ranks up there with the best of his comedies, although some still think he's past it, artistically.

Although I still think Allen should be looking for stand-ins where he usually plays, he does well in his own film this time; the songs are well-chosen (although we could have done without hearing Julia Roberts' singing); never ill-suited to any scene, and having most of the cast sing the songs in their own voice is a stroke of brilliance.

See this with your significant other on Valentine's day, as I did, and with a group of friends if you can--even non-Woody fans will be hard pressed not to like this film. It's charming, and in my opinion, one of the best 'date' films of recent memory.

If you still think Allen's films are too obscure, then this is the film for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Woody Goes Musical
Review: At its release, 'Everyone Says I Love You' was praised by all the reviewers who usually don't like Woody Allen films. So Woody fans should have been pleased... but it turns out they don't really have a reason to be. 'Cause this film lacks the best parts of the life'n'love philosophy we love from Woody.

Still, it is a film worth seeing. It seems like a collection of ideas, of small concepts that Woody found among his notes and wanted to put into a film. So he took them all, did put them into a film, and excused himself by making it a musical. A genre he probably wanted to experiment with anyway.

I guess only a film maker of Woody's class gets away with this experimental mixture of concepts and ideas. So 'Everyone Says I Love' IS quite entertaining.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: JUST HATE MUSICAL GENRE
Review: I like Woody Allen movies. I like his sense of humour and the way that many of his movies don't really have a big picture or a point. But this was like that... only not good. Maybe because the film was a musical it was horrible. I did not enjoy it but sat through it nevertheless... hoping for something, but it was awful. All the people in it did their jobs adequately, but this was really tiring.
