    Also, HE’S NOT FUNNY!!!

    His movies are forgettable. He’s like Jay Leno, popular beyond all reason for having done nothing meaningful.

      His early work is good. Bananas, Sleeper, Annie Hall. Manhattan gets a mention for Allen being so cringing self aware that he made a movie about dating someone inappropriately younger.

      Like Leno he has a reputation based entirely from those few early years. But most comics never even get an early reputation.
