Comedy At 40, Lee Simon feels that he’s not made the most of life. He writes travel features and interviews people from the world of showbiz, but dreams of selling a book or a screenplay to boost his social prestige. Since his divorce, he has had relationship upon relationship in an environment as dazzling as it is superficial, where anyone can be famous.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Like all of Allen's films, it's smart and quirky enough that we're not bored, but we're not much delighted, either (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Celebrity does not have the horsepower or the twang of Allen's better films, but it has some very funny moments"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Celebrity is refried comic beans that no amount of megastar seasoning can camouflage."	NEG
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Some of the sequences in this black-and-white, episodic ensemble piece are riotously funny, but there aren't enough good moments to counterbalance the negatives."	NEU
United States	Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	Woody Allen at his most inconsequential and insubstantial"	NEG
