About
You’ll likely enjoy Anything Else if you like Woody Allen-style romance talk and debate-driven comedy; Not for you if you want a tightly moving plot or you dislike messy, frustrating relationship dramas like You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger or The Story of Us.
Pros: witty, dialogue-heavy; strong New York vibe; entertaining mentor talks | Cons: thin, drifting story; unlikable relationship dynamic; uneven humor
