I can't believe I held off seeing this for so long. I was worried it would be too american and too documentary and thus not very funny but I was totally wrong on both these accounts. It really was unexpectadly funny. I thought during the movie this is amazing I can picture myself running out of the Cinema after and throwing my hands in the air in excitment. I didn't quite do that but I was excited. The ending is great. This is a film filled with those little moments and expressions and people making faces and telling jokes which hit the mark. And I mean filled like you wouldn't believe. Its also amazingly interesting. It manages to tell you stories from all over America through the childrens lives. At times it reminds me of the Christopher Guest movies with its talking head interviews except it is actually real.

This was amazing. I watched this while my unfortunate friends endured the Lord of the rings and how glad I am that I was antisocial this time. It was from start to finish a classic. Very entertaining and clever. Not quite like most Woody Allens where you just spend the whole movie with a smile glued to your face but instead with reflective bits coming together slowly to set up an original and amazingly funny plot. He constantly fires shots at both the blockbuster and the arty side of hollywood including himself. Nobody could have done this. All the performances are great as well.

This is one of those movies which just makes you go. Huh? What the Hell? The scenes are so incredibly ridiculous that you wonder what planet the insane mind that concieved them came from. It's great. Everything from the earlier Bond films is shredded. There is so much to look at in this, the bond girls, Peter Sellers, Orson Welles (somehow his bewildered brilliance never gets boring), the incredible sets, the colour!!! (you though Austin Powers was colourful??? forget it, the phycadelic scenes the bond girls. It all adds up to a mind trip well worth seeing.
