It's not bad, it is in fact rather delightful, though the music is quite abysmal.

o tempo nem passa enquanto Woody Allen nos entrega, finalmente, o seu tão sonhado projeto musical. as musicais são legais, mas não é por isso que o filme é um dos melhores do Allen. deve ser porque a obsessão pelos relacionamentos está lá, porque o final feliz está lá e, ainda sim, os personagens têm espaço na história para serem quem eles realmente são.

Everyone Says I Love You is a magical movie with some good songs, a stunning dance sequence, classic Woody Allen characters and some very good comedy. The cast in this one is stellar. How could you go wrong with Edward Norton, Tim Roth and Alan Alda? You can't. You really can't. "I should go to Paris and jump off of the Eiffel Tower. If I took the Concorde, I could be dead three hours earlier."

A cute and harmless but instantly forgettable little trifle. Also, Woody Allen romancing Julia Roberts physically repulses me. Go for your dream, Woody, I believe in you - write that 2013 project where you romance Dakota Fanning.

I get the joke, but that doesn't change the fact that I had to sit through an hour of poorly-performed, drawn-out songs (and I love musicals!). Some funny moments, but not as many as the typical Woody Allen flick. The Flying Goldie Hawn Scene was the best thing about this film.

This is the kind of film that you can enjoy with a goofy grin across your face the entire time, the kind of film smart enough to stay knowingly within its limits (a comic musical), and the kind of film just enough off kilter to be considered fresh in a genre often viewed as played out. The backdrops of NYC, Paris, and Venice really add to the overall feel of romance, and Woody plays a character more muted than is often the case in many of his films (a good thing in my view).

i hate musicals

more than a couple times you can see woody allen's personal absurdity humor that fronts his more straight forward comedies. this movie could have been a great success had a few things been changed, almost no one fit their role, allen knows full well he doesn't belong anywhere near a musical, and he should have trimmed out the musical scenes and some unnecessary ones in favor of more humor.

Woddy Allen is reprehensible and the sight of him sickens me. Thought this was a funny movie, though! (Update October 2011: Rated this in early August, yet I looked through my 'recent ratings' list and was surprised to find this on here. Except for the main idea behind the Allen/Roberts plot, I cannot remember a thing about this movie. Literally. Not a single thing. Dropped it down from 63 because a movie this forgettable can't be more than just 'decent'.)

Some things work like Allen-things can work: performances from Alda and especially Tim Roth, small jokes (the ones that aren't forced), etc. But this is a weak shadow of what Woody Allen can do. Like, what's the point of the younger sisters? And the whole musical thing. So they sing. It's another obvious typical-for-Allen intertextual reference, but it varies from bad to extremely painful. Litterally, sometimes, it looks like the actors are mumbling, to make the pain of singing easier to endure.

Flat and cheesy.

Not one memorable song. Also, say this out loud: "A Woody Allen musical". Yeaaah.

In what to me appears to be an homage to Jacques Demy, Woody decides to basically goof around for 90 mins; poorly structured musical sequences (though somehow not without their charm), heavy reliance on improv, and some really campy performances. Still, I embraced it and had a lot of fun. Either a testament to Allen's ability to make filmmaking seem easy, or my unwillingness to admit that my love for his films is unconditional.
