"Celebrity" is a unique, funny, intelligent comedy that's beyond comprehension. And the black and white helps accentuate the behind-the-scenes atmosphere. There's a constant array of big celebrities that fill the screen, with one grand performance after another. I have to especially commend Kenneth Branaugh for his dead-on portrayal of Woody Allen--he's not directly portraying Woody's real-life character and has a different name, but Branaugh displays Woody's every neurotic mannerism and gesture perfectly to the point where you actually think that's Woody on screen!!! The script is filled with unique, entertaining characters and though some may feel there are too many--I thought the characters all interlocked perfectly and Woody brought everything together in a slick, focused manner. There are some landmark moments, like when Judy Davis (the ex-wife of Kenneth Branaugh's character) comes to her friend, Bebe Neuwirth, for sex advice. That scene had me on the floor!
If you're expecting sharp, insightful humor that can only be delivered by the Wood-meister, you won't be disappointed! You will laugh the whole way through!
My score: 7 (out of 10)
