A young artist struggling with his career and his muse is getting more than a little aggravation from Cupid in this
romantic comedy written and directed by
Woody Allen.
Jerry Falk (
Jason Biggs) is a promising 21-year-old comedy writer living in New York City. While
Jerry has talent, he's having a hard time getting his career off the ground, which might have something to do with the fact his agent
Harvey (
Danny DeVito) is a well-meaning, but ineffectual, blowhard, and his mentor
David Dobel (
Allen) is an increasingly paranoid eccentric whose twin careers as a teacher and standup comic are both floundering. Poised at the top of
Jerry's mountain of anxieties is his relationship with his girlfriend
Amanda (
Christina Ricci); from the first moment he saw her,
Jerry has been in love with her, but
Amanda's multiple neuroses, fear of commitment, and frustrating intimacy issues make her all but impossible to be around.
Jerry is approaching his breaking point when the small flat he shares with
Amanda becomes home to a third roommate --
Amanda's mother
Paula (
Stockard Channing), who has decided to come to New York to chase her dream of becoming a cabaret singer.
Anything Else also features supporting performances from
Jimmy Fallon,
William Hill, and
jazz vocalist
Diana Krall.
