Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

oOoBarracuda A few reviews ago, I said that Woody Allen could do anything as I praised his diverse film career. Woody was really out to test me when he went the musical route with his 1996 film, Everyone Says I Love You. The dialogue was exquisite and the musical numbers were great fun, but the film lacked the depth I have come to love and expect from a Woody Allen film. The film is basically an exploration of the romantic relationships of a number of people within one family as they evaluate what they are looking for in life and how the other person would help or hinder their life's ambition. The many romance angles were a bit busy and the lack of depth makes Everyone Says I Love You a largely forgettable blip in Woody Allen's filmography.

gavin6942 A New York girl sets her father (Woody Allen) up with an ugly woman (Julia Roberts) in a shaky marriage while her half sister gets engaged.For the most part, I am a fan of Woody Allen's work. I like the intelligent humor, and although he has gone through a few different phases, he seems to be good in a variety of different ways. This film was claimed to be among the "10 best of 1996" according to several sources.Personally, it may be one of the best of 1996, but I would not put it among Woody's best. Not even among his 10 best. I still liked it, especially the musical number with the ghosts. Nice touch. And this is the sort of role we never see Edward Norton in (but probably should). But it just was not as good as some of Woody's other work, and a bit of it seemed forced. The Republican kid was just too much of a caricature to even really be funny.

SnoopyStyle Psychologist Steffi Dandridge (Goldie Hawn) and lawyer Bob Dandridge (Alan Alda) head a liberal upper class Manhattan family. The extended family includes Steffi's ex Joe Berlin (Woody Allen), their daughter Djuna Berlin (Natasha Lyonne), Skylar (Drew Barrymore), Lane (Gaby Hoffmann), Laura (Natalie Portman), grandpa with dementia and the black sheep Republican son Scott (Lukas Haas). Holden Spence (Edward Norton) is in love with Skylar. Von (Julia Roberts) is one of Steffi's patients. Charles Ferry (Tim Roth) is an ex-con.This is a Woody Allen musical. The music is easy listening and everybody does a good job singing. Some are surprisingly good but the songs aren't terribly challenging. The overwhelming family can be hard to take. I would have preferred some trimming of the family tree. It would have been better to concentrate on one relationship. The effect is a bit scatter shot.

Desertman84 Woody Allen produced,wrote and directed an All-Star cast musical comedy set in modern day New York,Venice and Paris in this film,Everyone Says I Love You.The ensemble cast includes Alan Alda,Drew Barrymore,Lukas Haas,Goldie Hawn,Gaby Hoffmann,Natasha Lyonne,Edward Norton,Natalie Portman,Julia Roberts,Tim Roth,David Ogden Stiers and Woody Allen himself.The story centered on a polite and comfortably well-off group of people and their romantic difficulties.DJ (Natasha Lyonne), who narrates the picture, is the daughter of divorced couple Steffi (Goldie Hawn) and Joe (Woody Allen). Since the break-up, Steffi has married Bob (Alan Alda); their children, DJ's half-sister and half-brother, are Skyler (Drew Barrymore) and Scott (Lukas Haas). Skyler is about to be married to a likable chap named Holden (Edward Norton). However, her mother Steffi, a wealthy liberal, cultivates people as "projects." Her latest project is ex-con Charles (Tim Roth), an extremely rude and crude customer. At family gatherings, everyone politely ignores his lapses in manners and good taste until Skyler postpones her wedding to have an affair with him. In a parallel storyline, we see that DJ is convinced that her unmarried dad would find a perfect mate in Von (Julia Roberts), and she contrives an elaborate (and successful) scheme to bring them together.Overall,this is one of the best musicals made in the 90's although it does not compared to those done in the past especially when it tries to emulate typical of '30s musicals.But nevertheless,it still passes as one of the best film features made since the performances of the actors are great.Also,the love story involved is told with sincerity and honesty.Aside from that,it also presented great songs such as songs such as "Just You, Just Me" and "My Baby Just Cares for Me,".In summary,this is a "can't miss" Woody Allen film.
