Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

A collection of vignettes, loosely based on the book by Dr. David Rueben, written and directed by Woody Allen, Everything contains some very funny moments. It's easy to forget that the cerebral Allen excelled at the type of broad, Catskill, dirty jokes and visual gags that run amok here. It's also remarkable how dirty this 1972 movie really was--bestiality, exposure, perversion, and S&M get their moments to shine. The Woody Allen here, who appears in many of the sketches, is a portent of the seedy old Allen of Deconstructing Harry. Although the final bit, which takes place inside a man's body during a very hot date, is hilarious, most of Everything feels like the screen adaptation of a '70s bathroom joke book. Still, a must for Allen fans. --Keith Simanton

4.0 out of 5 starsVery, Very funny. Not as durable as most Allen flics.
By B. Marold HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on May 6, 2005
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
`Everything you always wanted to know about sex* (*But were afraid to ask)', written and directed by Woody Allen is Allen's third `triple credit' movie after `Take the Money and Run' and `Bananas', and his first with a large, `Big Name' cast. But unlike later movies such as `Interiors', `Hannah and her Sisters', and `Crimes and `Misdemeanors', this cast is probably less likely to have been assembled for the honor of working with Allen than for the very typical Hollywood casting strategy of filling a large number of roles which appear on the screen for a short time with recognizable faces, so you instantly know that Lou Jacobi, for example, is playing a very bourgeois, very middle class Jewish burgher who, we quickly discover, has a yen to dress up as a woman. We make the similar connection with Tito Vandis as a middle eastern shepherd, John Carradine as a mad Dr. Frankenstein-like scientist, Gene Wilder as a quirky and up-tight doctor and Tony Randall as a prim and very button down control room supervisor.

Allen's stock character is so well known by this time that among the four characters he plays, at least one is totally against type, where he has a part in a `La Dolce Vita' parody, in Italian with subtitles and all, as a character very similar to that of Marcello Mastroianni, in situations stolen directly from Fellini's junk drawer.

Here, Allen comes closer to Mel Brooks' style than in any other of his movies, going so far as to share Gene Wilder (a frequent Mel Brooks star) and a Mel Brooks parody subject (Frankenstein). Like Brooks, there are many patently improbable or impossible situations cooked up merely for the laughs.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsjust a silly funny move
By J. Colburn on May 11, 2003
Format: DVD
Don't listen to Adi's review, calling the film "juvenile"
Adi should watch some of today's teen exploits to find a true juvenile movie.
This film was far beyond its time, and is a SPOOF, like many comedies. If you don't believe most of the reviews, just rent it first........have a few drinks, and you'll laugh hard......
this is the one movie that made me "discover" the talent of Woody Allen, and I'm glad I did.

3.0 out of 5 starsInconsistent... but brilliant at times
By Mike Stone on August 13, 2000
Format: VHS Tape
I found this to be a very hit-or-miss affair. The scenes which Woody doesn't appear in ("Are transvestites homosexual?", "What's my perversion?", and "What is sodomy?") miss his comic touch. Granted, Gene Wilder is deliriously funny as a man in love with a sheep (shouldn't the segment have been called "What is bestiality?"), but the other scenes never rise above bad Saturday Night Live-style parody. The cross-dressing scene goes for cheap and easy laughs, while the tired cliché of a game show turned upside down has only one funny moment (the rabbi's wife grimly feasting on a plate of pork).
When Woody does appear in a scene, the film comes alive. The 'Woody' character works perfectly in an anthology about the confusing nature of sex, because that for me is the essence of his character. His sexual confusion and manic personality kicks every situation into a higher gear. The Fool he plays in the first scene - a hapless borscht-belt style comic transported to a medieval court - delivers great line after great line in ridiculous old English ("TB or not TB, that is congestion"). His Fellini-esque Fabrizio (in "Why do some women have trouble achieving orgasm?"), confused about the frigidity of his newlywed wife, plays it cool in his Mastroianni sunglasses and world-weary Italian. But you know this guy is a hapless shnook anyway, when his wife can only get turned on for sex when it's in a public place. His Victor Shakapopoulous (sp?) saves the world from - yes it's true - a giant "tit" (size 4000X for those of you scoring at home).
But the most wonderful scene is the last one, "What happens during ejaculation?Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsNot Sheepish?
By A Customer on January 21, 2001
Format: VHS Tape
Totally insane film, loved the vignettes about everything once held taboo about sex... and the best scene is Wilder and his sheep! The look on Elaine Giftos' face when she catches Gene in bed with his black lingerie-d lamb, and he says, "It's not what you think it is..." is totally priceless. Okay, some people don't think bestiality is funny, but if you're from the Midwest, or hell, just rural America, where men are men, and sheep are sheep, well... it rocks your funny bone.

3.0 out of 5 starsNever did get an answer
By JEFFREY C LACHMAN on August 7, 2015

this is not re-mastered. it's a good recording of a bad copy. to bad. it was a "fun" movie in the 70's. but on the prudish side now. if your a woody lover. get it for your collection. it's the only way your going to get it. if your not a woody fan. your not missing much. the title was better than the movie. it has some mildly funny skits. with a lot of top name actors of the time.

2.0 out of 5 starsUsed to be highly rated; now it's just tedious - has not aged well.
By R. White on December 8, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
A bit on the silly side. Not really introducing anything new (in 2016), but might have been groundbreaking back in the day.

Watched it because of the press back in the day. Was dissappointed.
