Descripción del producto
Christina Ricci invigorates an even-more-neurotic-than-usual variation on the classic neurotic woman in this Woody Allen movie. Comedy writer Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs, "American Pie") is madly in love with Amanda (Ricci, "The Opposite of Sex"), even though they haven't had sex in six months. Falk meets an older writer named Dobel (Allen) who becomes a sort of accidental mentor, encouraging him to break free of Amanda and his clinging agent (Danny DeVito). The pace is sluggish, almost every scene feels like an outtake from an earlier, better Woody Allen movie (particularly "Annie Hall"), Biggs never seems comfortable with his dialogue--only Ricci makes her character her own, giving her own perverse comic spin to the proceedings. About three-fourths of the way through the movie, the story starts to feel fresher and more compelling, but by then it's too late. Also featuring Jimmy Fallon and Stockard Channing. "--Bret Fetzer"

Upon re-evaluation, I found that the movie has its witty moments, and share of laughs, with Woody putting in his usually commendable performances, with Anything Else being no exception, and a storyline that's engrossing enough to keep you entertained.
The story revolves around a fledging young writer who suddenly decides to take his work on a serious turn in an attempt at generating a successful career for himself as a writer, his efforts being hampered by a bumbling agent whose ineptitude keeps the writer in the dumps and Woody, playing the role of mentor, advising him to drop the agent and engage in a partnership with him that will take them to Los Angeles; while, he struggles to maintain the sparks in what constitutes an on and off relationship with his ambivalent girlfriend who has a problem binging on food and finds it difficult to engage in intimate relationships that involve sexual intercourse.
On the overall, a fine effort by Woody that constitutes a worthwhile watch.
Since Allen is famous for doing parodies of major dramatic genres, from 1930s German impressionism of `Shadows and Fog' to Renaissance fantasy in `A Midsummer's Night Sex Comedy', so my first reaction to this movie was that it too was primarily a parody of modern light comedy, but it is not. The saying about taking coals to Newcastle comes to mind. Another first reaction was that many of the situations seemed a bit improbable. But then, I remembered situations in recent popular comedies where a 13 year old becomes 30 years old overnight, a mother and daughter switch bodies, and a very overweight black professor becomes very trim and obnoxious. All these movies are very funny, but they are also based on literally impossible situations. So what was I complaining about if it seems a bit improbable for a 60 year old high school teacher with a giant vocabulary and a history of psychotic violence is trying to break into the standup comedy joke writing profession.
This last description is a sketch of Woody Allen's character in this movie that, unlike almost all of his others where he has a role, is not the lead character. Rather, it supports the lead played by Jason Biggs who shares the spotlight with fellow teenage character specialist, Christina Ricci. Neither of these actors is drawn from Allen's usual pool of actors, since none of his usual late middle aged colleagues would have a chance at playing the 21-year-old characters. I have seen neither Biggs nor Ricci in any of their other movies, but I believe that they succeed very well here at playing largely innocent, unreflective young adults who do not yet have their lives nailed down to a solid foundation.
Biggs young gag writer character is being advised in several different directions by his nebbish agent, played with gusto as usual by Danny DeVito, his psychiatrist, and by Allen's character, whose advice usually wins out. The main action of the story is the young man's inability to be alone, leading him to fall in love with the immature siren Christina Ricci character, who is as disorganized with maintaining her emotional attachments as she is in managing her time, money, or mother. Most of the humor is generated by the goings on between these two characters, but great grins are also created by the really terrific performance by Stockard Channing as Ricci's mother.
In a sense, Biggs is playing Woody Allen of 40 years ago, as he appears in `Take the Money and Run', but without Allen's psychotic mischieviousness, as when Allen directs a parking driver to violently back into a parked car's headlights. Allen the writer reserves that grim humor for Allen the actor's character, especially when he smashes in the headlights and windshields of a car driven by two very heavily built young men who just stole a parking space from Allan's fire engine red Porsche.
`anything else', to my mind, is neither Allen's best or worst comedy, but it may be one of his best which combines comedy with serious, realistic human interaction. There is none of the fantasy hijinks of `Mighty Aphrodite' with its Greek chorus or even the Academy awarded `Annie Hall' with deux ex machina appearances of celebrities from behind movie cutouts. The only unusual device used in this movie is the Biggs' charter speaking directly to the audience, as if the audience was the only character in the room that really understands him. At least, it is the only character who can't talk back.
I agree with some other reviewers that Biggs and Ricci are not up to the quality of acting from veterans Channing and DeVito, but I thing their weak acting skills plays into their characters, who are not exactly strong people themselves, except that Biggs manages in the end to resolve his situation and free himself from immediate conflicts, with a little help from Woody's character.
As a comedy, this movie is a lot easier to take and to like than the dramatic `Husbands and Wives' or `Crimes and Misdemeanors', but it is more challanging than the comedies with easy gimmicks. Not quite as good as `Annie Hall' or `Manhattan', but well worth the viewing.
The good: Christina Ricci playing an extremely sexy, yet immature and grating character; Jason Biggs doing an exceptional job with a poorly-written script; Danny DeVito doing an amazing job with a small role; a couple of other attractive women in small parts; and a couple points where you actually laugh.
The bad: Woody Allen's (not intentionally) annoying character; a pretty pathetic plot; and a poorly-written, unfunny script.
The ugly: Woody Allen's constant mention of Jews and his perceived hatred of them.
Christina Ricci really does shine in this movie. While her character is intentionally annoying, she makes you care about her (not the least of which because she's gorgeous). Similarly, Jason Biggs does a very good job and makes you care about his character. Likewise, Danny DeVito makes you care about his character, though his role is unfortunately small. This is a testament to the ability of these actors, and a lesser degree to the director.
The problem is that it's really not a very good plot, and the script is pure tripe. I've never seen Woody Allen in anything before, and my initial reaction is that he likes to hear himself talk. There's just no other excuse for his character. The character is neither funny nor witty. If he was meant to be a sort of mentor to Jason Biggs' character (as it appears he was), his lines should have been rewritten and the role should have been given to a better actor. To me, his performance was flat. He didn't make me care about his character at all.
At many times throughout the movie, I almost turned it off. The only reason I didn't is because I kept thinking "It HAS to get better", and it did get a little bit better at the end. But does 20 minutes or so at the end justify sitting through 89 minutes of pain?
The bottom line is this: If you're the type of person who must see everything that one of these actors does, then you're going to watch this no matter what any reviewer says. If you're just a casual fan, or are just looking for something to entertain yourself, skip this one. There's a reason it has so many bad reviews.

Die Story beginnt damit, dass "unser Held" Jerry einem Freund die heiße Frau (Amanda) auspannt und seine aktuelle Flamme somit zur eigenen Tür hinaus treibt.
Für den smarte Jerry und die sprunghafte Amanda hätte es also gar nicht besser laufen können und so teilen sie sich nach einem stürmischen Beziehungsstart schnell Jerrys Appartement.
Soweit so gut möchte man sagen, wenn beide Charaktere eigentlich nicht völlig verschieden wären.
Jerry entpuppt sich nähmlich schnell als "Pussie" ohne Bewußtsein für den eigenen Wert, der sich von der zickigen und talentfreien Amanda nach belieben herumstoßen lässt. So wunderte es nicht, dass Amanda nach kurzer Zeit Ihre Gelüste an respektableren Männern stillt und gleichzeitig dem naiven Jerry einfach die Rolle der "guten (jedoch sexlosen) Vaterfigur" angehängt. Himmelschreiend komisch wird das spätestens dann, wenn sie Jerry im Zuge ihrer sexuellen Selbstbefreiung, eine Ihrer Freundinnen als sexuellen Ersatz anbietet.
Selbst den Einzug von Amandas koksenden Mutter in die gemeinsame Wohnung vermag der lediglich zu zaghaften Wiederstand fähige Jerry nicht zu verhindern.
Aber auch beruflich ist der komödiantisch erfolgreich Schreiberling nicht in der Lage mal erwachsen zu werden und sich von seinem geldgierigen Möchtegernmanager abzunabeln.
Auch Jerrys lächerlich anmutenden Therapieversuche bei einem offensichtlich "angeödeten" Analytiker sind somit zwangläufig zum Scheitern verurteilt.
Gewürzt wird Jerrys Misere noch durch die entwaffnenden Kommentare eines schmächtigen aber zu schweren gewalltausbrüchen neigenden Lehrers, der meist vergeblich versucht dem blinden Jerry die Augen für die wahre Tragik seines Leben zu öffnen.
Alles in allem gibt der Film einen höchst lehrreichen Einblick in eine fatale und nicht selten anzutreffende Beziehungskonstellation unserer postmodernen Gesellschaft.
Woody Allen sprüht wie seit langem nicht mehr vor ulkigen Witz, messerscharfen Geist und seiner immernoch leidlich ausgeprägten jüdischen Paranoia.
Erfreulicherweise wirkt der enorm amüsante Plott, nicht zuletzt wegen der frischaufspielenden Darsteller Biggs und Ricci, nie angestaubt oder intellektuell überhoben und überzeugt auf ganzer Linie.
Fazit:
Ein enorm unterhaltsamer Film aus dem wahren Leben mit bissigem Humor und jeder Menge reizvoll, beziehungskillenden Verhaltensmustern.
Diese Juwel reicht locker an Allen-Klassikern wie "Manhattan" oder "Bullets over Broadway" heran und sollte auch Nicht-Wodderianer bestens unterhalten.
