Hollywood Ending movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Inspired in stretches and offers Allen the actor the best role he's had in ages. Read more
Chris Fujiwara, Boston Globe: Hollywood Ending is a small film, but its ease and grace are virtues that can't be overrated. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: For a movie considerably longer than Allen's usual 90 minutes, Hollywood Ending is curiously underdeveloped. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: While Hollywood Ending has its share of belly laughs (including a knockout of a closing line), the movie winds up feeling like a great missed opportunity. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Woody Allen can write and deliver a one liner as well as anybody. But I had a lot of problems with this movie. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Destined to make Allen's fans around the world giggle, guffaw and shiver with delight. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: The premise may be outrageous, but the film is full of witty lines, delightful scenes and sharp performances. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Once the energy from the jokes dies down, we're left with a project so stale you feel like opening a window to let some air in. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Allen is both more scathingly funny and self-deprecatingly vulnerable than he's seemed since Annie Hall. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: If all late-life male fantasies were as entertaining as Hollywood Ending frequently is -- well, we'd all have more fun at the multiplexes. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: It isn't junk, but it sure isn't the Allen we used to know. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Whether this is art imitating life or life imitating art, it's an unhappy situation all around. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: With Hollywood Ending, he's made three solid comedies in a row, each a light lark with no hint of morose self-reflection. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: It's as if Allen, at 66, has stopped challenging himself. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: For Woody, it's looking more and more like the end of his days of whine and neurosis. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Hollywood Ending feels sadly like Woody Allen's ending. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Woody Allen used to ridicule movies like Hollywood Ending. Now he makes them. Read more
Manohla Dargis, L.A. Weekly: The frog prince of New York comedy again wallows in the middle of the frame as various familiar faces, namely various princes and princesses from television, dart about him like so many flies with a death wish. Read more
David Denby, New Yorker: Hollywood Ending has its satirical charms, but it repeats itself remorselessly, and it has no emotional center. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: [Allen's] been making piffle for a long while, and Hollywood Ending may be his way of saying that piffle is all that the airhead movie business deserves from him right now. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A 40-carat cinematic jewel for anyone who has ever wondered about the insanity of a movie shot on location. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: For the first time in several years, Mr. Allen has surpassed himself with the magic he's spun with the Hollywood empress of Ms. Leoni's Ellie. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The comedy is perfunctory and rarely worth more than a chuckle, and all of the attacks on the film industry come across as shallow and familiar. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I liked the movie without loving it. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Every time Woody Allen seems as if he's through, he comes back swinging. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: You'll wonder if the title of the new George Lucas movie -- Attack Of The Clones -- might not have worked nicely here too. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: This affable outing wills itself to a higher level on the strength of a few standout scenes. Read more
Dennis Lim, Village Voice: Val's condition mainly facilitates some agreeable (if klutzily staged) pratfalls and a few tepid snickers about artistic 'vision.' Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: The whole thing feels thrown desperately together. Read more
