Celebrity (1998)
6/10
at least he's making fun of rich New Yorkers
28 July 2005
In the late '90s, we began to find Woody Allen's work stale because he was focusing on neurotic rich New Yorkers and the various goings-on in their lives. Personally, most people could give a rip about that stuff. "Deconstructing Harry" was better since it showed these people as more vicious, and "Celebrity" goes so far as to make fun of them. Kenneth Branagh plays Allen-esquire magazine writer Lee Simon, who has to be surrounded by various and sundry celebrities. Leonardo DiCaprio has the best role, basically playing a parody of himself. Probably the best line is when they see Andre Gregory's character, and they say that he's one of those directors who's gotten into...well, I'll let you find out for yourself. But this one is worth seeing, unlike "Everyone Says I Love You".
