The Film Junkie

This brilliant romantic comedy tells the story of Allan (Woody Allen), a movie geek and film review writer, who is left by his wife and forced to re-enter the world of dating.  However Allan has a terribly skewed perception of what love should be due to his obsession with old movies.  He is counseled by Humphrey Bogart who follows him around and tells him just what to say.

Allen and Diane Keaton, as his best friend’s wife, are a great team once again.  They instinctively understand one another and play off each other perfectly.

The references are completely fitting and for some reason I totally identify with this man for whom cinema is the only reality…don’t know why…

This movie is funny, sweet, romantic, harsh and really well made.  See it.
