Honey, there's a spider in your bathroom the size of a Buick.
I did it. I killed 'em both.
What's the matter? What are you sad about? What did you want me to do? Capture 'em and rehabilitate 'em?

heralded by many as Woody Allen's masterpiece, and attacked by others for being intellectual and over-rated (ha! so am I!), interested me more for its structure and narrative tricks than it did for its story and dialog, but I did generally like the whole package. It's really quite clever how it tells the story of a failed relationship (between Woody's character and Diane Keaton's, only in part based on their own love affair) as you would actually tell a story to people, some of whom might have been present. In effect, it means there's hyperbole, there's talking to the camera, there's imagination run amok, there are interventions by some of the other characters chiming in, and the chronological sequence is based on what need to know to understand the relationship and not actual passage of time. It's just like How I Met Your Mother, folks, and now that I think of it, I got it into my head to watch this film after HIMYM's Ted Mosby said it was his favorite movie. Nice tribute.

I thought it was okay, I can see why this movie is an influential comedy but it just didn't grab my interest plus I don't find Woody Allens character very likable.
