Woody Allen plays a neurotic unwed male, Alvy Singer, who meets Annie Hall after a tennis game. The two get to know each other through a series of mindless banterings, and eventually decide to live together. But all is not as it seems; they have problems right from day one.
Alvy and Annie split up soon rather than later because they just can't handle each other. But, as the film continues, we see that they can't live without each other.
Annie Hall is made up of nothing but nonsensical sentances strung together that "seem" to be conversations between the title character and Woody Allen, but what they really are are the ravings of an neurotic mind. Only Woody Allen could have come up with (If you'll pardon me) $#!T like this.
Just what was Woody Allen thinking? Yes, this was the film that started his career, but that's all it did. Annie Hall did have one thing going for it, though: it was funny. Very funny. It's a hilarious movie, which is why it's a comedy. The ravings of Woody Allen are just too funny. But other than that, it's boring: it's all talk and no substance.
Anyone who likes Annie Hall must be really, really high on something; or you just may like Woody Allen movies.
-Yah, right.
Plot: 
What plot?
Visual Effects:
What visual effefcts?
Sound:
For a really bad movie, it's sound is almost just as bad. I won't even start on Woody Allen's voice.
Character Development:
This, I have to admit, there is some of in Annie Hall, and I stress, some.
Atmosphere:
How do you get into a movie that is all talk and laughter? It's pretty damn hard. Annie Hall has nothing to get you into it.
Realism:
Annie Hall is contemporary and modern, and it works in almost any decade; the diologue is fresh and pertains to the everyday pretty well.
Warren’s Rating:
This is only because it's funny. THAT'S IT.
Movies it beat out for Best Picture:
The Goodbye Girl, (1977); Julia, (1977); Star Wars, (1977); The Turning Point, (1977)

Despite being in a really stupid movie, Diane Keaton gives a good performance as Woody Allens love interest Annie Hall, in the movie of the same name.
Annie's on-again, off-again relationship with Allen's character, Alvy Singer, makes for interesting but ultimatly stupid goings-on in an already stupid movie.
There is not much else to say about the movie that hasn't already been said, other than that it stank, but the acting of Keaton and Allen, besides the funny lines uttered by each other, is the only thing that brough up the value of this picture.
However, to date, this is one of Keaton's best performances.
