A likable, infectious musical, Woody Allen’s Everyone Says I Love You is sometimes uneven but always toe-tapping and fun
Everyone Says I Love You is a classic Woody Allen film that follows the lives of rich, uninteresting New Yorkers. While some critics found the story half-hearted and the jokes hit or miss, others found it to be a warmhearted and original tribute to classic Hollywood movies of the 1930s. Personally, I found it to be a painless and pleasing middlebrow fare, much like a Bob Hope musical comedy. The dance numbers were clever, fun, and funky, and the film had a sweet conceit that glued a grin on my face until its crucial next-to-last scene hit a clunker note. Overall, it’s a great movie to watch if you’re in the mood for some light-hearted entertainment.

The preoccupation with rich, uninteresting, New Yorkers continues to distance his audience from his work more and more with each movie.

Listening to the others sounding like a spouse in the shower makes one wonder: How bad could Barrymore be that she had to be dubbed?

TOP CRITIC
Much of the film’s story is half-hearted, its jokes hit or miss, and what starts out feeling genial ends up unavoidably thin.

If it doesn’t quite mandate a viewer song burst, this sweet conceit ought to glue a grin on your face until its crucial next-to-last scene hits a clunker note.

For a picture that’s almost a complete misfire, it’s painless to sit through.

It would take a heart of stone to resist this movie.

TOP CRITIC
Though the premise is unoffensive enough, there’s still a queasy Allenian sheen to the character he plays in the film…

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Warmhearted, original, but not entirely successful tribute to classic Hollywood movies of the 1930s, specifically Capra’s You Can’t Take It With You.

The dance numbers are clever, fun and, sometimes, funky and are cleanly choreographed.
