''Everyone Says I Love You'' is a 1996 musical comedy written and directed by WoodyAllen and starring a large EnsembleCast.

Like a lot of Woody Allen movies, the film is set in [[BigAppleSauce New York]] and features LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters. This particular film distinguishes itself by having the characters randomly break into song. The musical numbers, and the entire tone of the film are a ShoutOut to the musicals of the 1920s and 1930s.

[[AC:Characters include:]]
* DJ Berlin- TheNarrator of the film, daughter of Joe and Steffie
* Joe Berlin- Father of DJ, ex-husband of Steffie. Also a [[AuthorAvatar neurotic, insecure writer]].
* Steffie Dandridge- Mother of DJ, Lane and Laura; ex-wife of Joe, wife of Bob. A philanthropist.
* Bob Dandridge- Father of Schuyler, Scott, Lane and Laura; husband of Steffie. A lawyer.
* Scott Dandridge- Bob's son from his first marriage; considered the BlackSheep of the family for his conservative beliefs.
* Schuyler Dandridge- Bob's daughter from his first marriage. Dating Holden.
* Lane and Laura Dandridge- Bob and Steffie's daughters. Sometimes creep into BrattyTeenageDaughter territory.
* Holden Spence- Schuyler's boyfriend/fiance, a lawyer who works for Bob.
* Von Sidell- A woman whose therapy sessions DJ listens in to (the therapist is the mother of one of Lane and Laura's friends) and decides would be a perfect match for her father.
* Charles Ferry- a recently-released criminal who Steffie invites for dinner; he takes an interest in Schuyler.

** When Bob starts singing "I'm Thru With Love" when Schuyler reveals she dumped Holden, Steffie quizzically asks, "What are ''you'' singing about? You're not in love with Holden!"

** The title of the film is a nod to another film starring TheMarxBrothers, ''HorseFeathers''.
** DJ's perfect man? [[BrickJoke Harpo]].

* SpontaneousChoreography: Everywhere in this film!
* StalkerWithACrush: Joe's courtship of Von, in large part thanks to his daughters knowledge of Von's inner thoughts.
* StrawmanPolitical: Scott Dandridge is the conservative version of this, [[spoiler: at least until he has heart surgery and wakes up a liberal, much to Bob's joy. Scott's conservatism is {{handwaved}} as being down to [[TakeThat not enough oxygen getting to his brain]].]]
** Steffie's "limousine liberalism" is also very much a political stereotype. Lampshaded when she says to Schuyler that Charles Ferry is fine to treat as just a "social project" but not as an ''actual human being''.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Frieda, Grandpa's nurse, is ''heavily'' implied to have worked under AdolfHitler.
-->'''Bob:''' Frieda, this pasta doesn't have any sauce.

* TitleDrop: "Everyone Says I Love You" is the final song of the film.
* WackyMarriageProposal: Both times Holden proposes to Schuyler, and both manage to GoHorriblyWrong.
