A college freshman dramedy. Tries to be 3 different movies, none of them particularly good.

An anthology of sex-themed genre pastiches that intermittently takes its stupidity seriously enough to verge into funny and/or subversive, but more often just drifts into nothingness.
A well-written romcom with a theme and lots of fun details plus good chemistry between Allen and Keaton. Too bad the jokes just aren’t all there and the story isn’t enough of a home run. Still quite good, though.
Not as funny as Allen’s proper debut Take the Money and Run, but a very good sophomore effort.
The animation is peerless, the songs are occasionally invigorating, and Moana herself is one of Disney’s greatest protagonists, but the script and quest suffer a bit from exposition overload, pacing hiccups, and fluctuating stakes that keep it from soaring to all-time heights. Still a strong and memorable outing that I’ll always be keen to revisit.
An epic romance and coming-of-age story told with tremendous humanity and precision and life. Yet it has its share of problematic storytelling and is certainly too long. Too much sex, too, but I suppose it adds to the palpable intimacy between the leads.
Woody Allen’s first actor-director-writer film is a parody criminal biopic/documentary. It doesn’t always hold together, but as a series of skits it is astonishingly hilarious.
I had forgotten this is kind of… bad?
I devour this kind of mumblecore stuff as comfort food, but even for me this one is a tough sell.
I did really like how weirdly meta the premise is — Karpovsky playing a guy named Karpovsky on a film tour for a real movie Karpovsky made.
A bit too frenetic, and the live action segment sucks the energy out of the story, but the animation is jaw-dropping and the story otherwise buoyant.
