Anything Else stars a demented, promiscuous and darling Christina Ricci as zany girlfriend Amanda, who teases and torments the hero, a struggling comedy writer (played by Jason Biggs) named Jerry who also has to deal with an insane and paranoid teacher, Mr. Dobel (Woody Allen). Danny DeVito plays Jerry's con artist agent. Like many Woody Allen movies, this one's in love with New York, populating it with wildly weird characters and full of his own quirks. Ricci chews the scenery with relish as she vacillates between being adorable and Borderline Personality Disorder, while Woody is, well, classic nervous and dithering Woody-as-Dobel. If you like Wood Allen romantic absurdist comedies, give it a go and watch poor Jerry get pulverized by his girlfriend and "mentor!"

Continuity mistake: At one point about halfway through the movie, Jerry Falk sits down in his apartment to translate his thoughts onto his laptop, sort of a mini diary, and the closeup shot of the notebook monitor shows he has typed up over 3 lines worth of text (at 18-point font size setting, no less). Then the next wider shot that includes the laptop screen shows he hasn't finished even the third line; not only that, the text is now in more typical (smaller) font size.

David Dobel: Let me tell you, Falk. We live in perilous times. You got to keep alert for these things. You don't want your life to wind up as black-and-white newsreel footage scored by a cello in a minor key.
