Anything Else (2003)
Anything Else (2003) is a romantic comedy film by American filmmaker Woody Allen. Jerry Falk and David Dobel, who bond over their shared profession as struggling comedy writers in New York City, quickly become close friends. While both are Jewish, they have differing beliefs – with David being an atheist. As they spend time together, they discover that they share a multitude of neuroses. Despite the age gap of forty years (with Jerry being twenty-one and David being sixty), they engage in deep conversations about life in the park. Though Jerry writes full-time and is even working on a novel, David still holds onto his job as a public school teacher as a backup plan. With his wealth of experience and knowledge, David takes on a mentor-like role for Jerry, offering advice on his struggles with inertia and difficulty letting go of people.
This is why Jerry remains with his long-time manager, Harvey Wexler. Harvey exclusively represents Jerry and their successful partnership speaks for itself. As per their contract, Harvey receives a twenty-five percent share which he hopes to continue for another seven years. Additionally, Jerry continues to see a psychiatrist, despite not finding much help from the therapy sessions. The doctor suggested that Jerry postpone accepting a job offer in Los Angeles and instead continue therapy with him. This has resulted in Jerry feeling trapped and struggling to make any progress in his love life. After one divorce already, Jerry is currently having issues with his girlfriend Amanda, who he believes is the one for him. They met when he was already living with Brooke, and Amanda was dating Jerry’s friend Bob Stiles.
