ANYTHING ELSE (2003)

Quoting Freud, check: forcing a role for yourself into your own movie, check: sexy but infantile female lead, check: mentioning Dofsteyefsky, check: insisting that all the actors mimic you, check: telling lame old jokes and only using pop culture references from pre-1960, check and double check: another boring, cookie cutter, late career Woody Allen movie is cranked out!
