You're exactly right mate... it turns out quite a few people aren't big fans of him either, and I realised that soon after expressing my dislike for Annie Hall on social media. I spoke to a friend last night who told me that he can't stand Woody Allen, but said Annie Hall is probably the one he dislikes least... that doesn't give me much hope for his other films.

Sad thing is... I think I would've actually enjoyed the film had it not been for him, so maybe I should just avoid the ones he has a role in. I'll most certainly check out his slapstick stuff though, and I'm still tempted to give Manhattan a watch sometime soon, just to be sure that I can't stand him as an actor.

I'm sad also to hear you didn't like it after we all really encouraged you to watch them.
I have to agree with @adarkcorner if you didn't like AnnieHall much and particularly didn't like Woody Allen, then it doesn't bode well for the other films as he is kinda the same in all of them, regardless of the character. I think it is a case of some people like him and some don't, he's very marmite. As I said before maybe check out the later ones then that he's not in. I'd say try Vicky Cristina Barcelona, I really like that one.

I still think its funny how it's five laugh out loud comedies followed by INTERIORS!
5 delicious comedy chocolate sundaes finished off with dark flaming reality sandwich!
