Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Smoreni Zmaj Let's misbehaveThese seven sexually oriented stories are based on original and interesting ideas, but the realization of the film is bad in every way. Cheap production, poorly written script and unnatural and forced humor leave an insipid taste in your mouth. The second story, about a man in love with a sheep, and the seventh, which represents a human organism as a machine operated by a large crew faced with a sex opportunity, in my opinion, deserve eight and seven out of ten. Although the ideas on which other stories are based also have a lot of potential, these ideas are wasted on a rather stupid film.5,5/10

SavvyDalmia I don't know why films like this one aren't made anymore. (Probably because PCness has made it really hard to get away with a lot of jokes.) Equal parts ridiculous and shocking, perhaps a bit too shocking for delicate sensibilities, the film does not have a boring moment. Thoroughly entertaining, extremely noneducational, and highly hilarious.

Coventry "Every Thing You Always … etc" is a sort of anthology movie, composed of seven different fragments sharing one and the same general theme, in this case (semi-)embarrassing sexual inquiries. The funniest thing about reading user-comments on anthologies, even more so than with regular long-feature films, is the diversity in people's opinions. Even when people reward the film with the same overall rating out of ten, you still read stuff like "segment #3 is inarguably the best part of the film" in the one review and "sketch number 7 towers head and shoulders" in another. Fact simply remains that tastes may vary, but general consensus at least confirms that this early Woody Allen effort is a fantastically entertaining – albeit wildly uneven – comedy achievement, with an original basic concept, a truly imaginative structure and several downright hilarious and unforgettable sequences. Also, and this is speaking from a more cinematic point of view, this is a brilliant film because nearly every separate fragment successfully parodies other and entirely different genres of filmmaking, like B-horror movies, Shakespearian plays, Science Fiction and talkative European sleaze flicks. Personally, I'm not the biggest expert on Woody Allen movies and I have yet to see the vast majority of his repertoire. But I don't plan to do so, as I already know that his newer work doesn't interest me that much. His earliest work, on the contrary, I find perplexing and utmost versatile. The ideas behind movies like "What's Up Tiger Lilly", "Bananas" and "Sleeper" are sheer genius. "Every Thing You Always … etc" is also like that. This movie is actually based on an existing educative book from a prominent doctor, but then made into a slapstick format, allegedly as some kind of revenge because this doctor used a Woody Allen joke during a lecture without mentioning the source. So the questions raised at the beginning of each segment are genuine, but the responses are obviously fictional and illustrated through the most incredibly grotesque situations and absurd characters. The query whether or not aphrodisiacs work, for example, is told through the tale of a clumsy castle jester who successfully seduces the queen with a love potion, but then literally bumps into her chastity belt. Or, in what is perhaps the most ingenious comical sketch ever scripted, we receive an answer to the question "what happens during the ejaculation?" through portraying the human brain as a NASA-like headquarters where engineers and switchboard operators instruct workmen to generate an erection and sperm cells to dive into the unknown. Call me biased, but inventing situations and one-liners like these requires absolutely brilliance and extremely talented writing skills. The younger Woody Allen had it. My own personal favorite episodes (since I don't feel entitled to label them as "best") include the aforementioned "What happens during the ejaculation?" and also "What are sex perverts?" The latter is presented in the shape of a prototypic 1950's TV-show, complete with black and white photography, inferior picture quality and truly doesn't avoid any taboos. And since I'm primarily a fan of old horror and cult movies, I also worshiped the episode "Are the Findings of Doctors and Clinics Who Do Sexual Research and Experiments Accurate?" in a mad scientist – played by John Carradine – accidentally unleashes a gigantic and monstrous female breast upon a rural community. Honesty obliges me to state that sadly not all segments are equally terrific. The story with Gene Wilder, as a doctor falling in love with an Armenian sheep, is definitely courageous, but also quite tedious and not that laugh-out-loud funny. The Fellini parody is also interesting, but outstays its welcome as well. Woody Allen himself stars in four out of seven episodes (most notably as the petrified sperm) and he could also count on a strong supportive cast, including Lou Jacobi, Burt Reynolds and Lynn Redgrave. The film is an absolute must in case you seek out all legendary comedy classics.

Neil Welch Back in the days when the Victorian attitude towards sex was finally starting to loosen up a bit ie. the 1960s, the book Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid To Ask) sold in lorryloads. Hollywood being the greedy, acquisitive machine it still is, snapped up the film rights and then discovered that what was essentially a fairly serious self-help book, aimed at enlightening Joe Public about areas where he was interested but which simply hadn't ever been talked about until now, was essentially unfilmable.Enter Woody Allen. Operating at the top of his game (his initial game, that is, humorist par excellence), Allen plucks 7 of Dr Reuben's chapter headings and, for each of them, constructs an illustrative sketch.I say "illustrative", but of course they are no such thing. I have three images which remain indelibly imprinted on my brain from watching this film 40 years ago. One is a gigantic independent breast escaping majestically across the countryside, another is gene Wilder (in possibly the best performance of his career) falling in love, at first sight, with a sheep (and someone else's sheep, at that), and the last one is the chaos in Mission Control as the paratroop sperm jostle for position in order to make their one and only leap into action.It's insane. It's clever. It's very very funny.
