Christina Ricci in Anything Else was ‘Something Else.’ Check one of her best scenes ever

The 2003 Venice International Film Festival opening night film Anything Else, written and directed by Woody Allen, had its world premiere that year. The picture has won over a devoted audience despite its uneven critical reception.

The story follows young writer Jerry as he deals with the ups and downs of his relationship with Amanda. Jason Biggs holds his own alongside Woody Allen, who gives a memorable performance as the wise old writer who imparts his knowledge.

Christina Ricci gives a terrific performance as Amanda, perfectly encapsulating the character’s naiveté and unpredictability. The rest of the cast in this romantic comedy includes Jimmy Fallon, Danny DeVito, and Stockard Channing.
