Starring: Woody Allen and Diane Keaten. Director: Woody Allen.
Seriously, I wonder how in the world could this movie have won Best Picture. This must have been the year when the Academy started awarding trash. For a Woody Allen picture, it had its rare moments of humor, but these moments were fleeting. Typical sexist, chauvenistic Woody Allen jokes. Horrible movie, but I have never been a Woody Allen fan! This is considered by most critics to be his best picture. When Woody Allen commented on writing this film, he told us how he wrote this role particularly for Diane Keaten, because she was Annie Hall, through and through. :-)

Woody Allen has always portrayed the exaggerated dope with no self confidence, who tries to play cool so that he will win the heart of his love interest. Because this movie portrays the coming of age of the feminist movement, one can get a glimpse of how insecure many men were during this time. Not that Woody Allen ever had that great of confidence. After all, the only girl he could ever get to marry him was his step-daughter (gag me with a spoon, if not banish him forever). Despite his lack of judgement, he is a brillant pervert.
