Celebrity is one of Woody Allen's weaker films for me, which is a real shame because the cast alone made me think it was going to be an acting tour de force. Unfortunately, it didn't happen in any significant way. Kenneth Branagh is a good actor, and here his character reminded me a bit of Marcello Mastroianni in La Dolce Vita, a journalist who captures celebrities who are just as naughty as he is. Leonardo DiCaprio is probably the one that irritated me the most, I like him, but here his short-tempered character really got on my nerves. And even though it was a comedy, I probably only had fun during Branagh's school reunion, and that’s far from enough. In short, a film that may be for a different audience than me, because I can't explain it any other way.

Certainly not Allen's best film, but still a decent and above-average comedy, which unlike the director's older comedies stuffed with one-liners, manages to get by with capturing the glamorous and warped world of celebrity society. I didn't miss Woody not being in the film, as Kenneth Branagh was able to perfectly substitute him. Overall impression: 75%.
