Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Elijah Wood has one of his first post-Frodo leading roles in the mild-mannered comedy IAll I Want/I (the original title of which was ITry Seventeen/I in its film festival showings). He's a 17-year-old college dropout who moves into a funky old apartment building and becomes intrigued by his wacky neighbours. Mandy Moore plays the self-absorbed actress across the hall and IRun Lola Run/I goddess Franka Potente is a cranky photographer. The movie has a few surprises (the casting seems to suggest a teenybopper romance for Wood and Moore, but not so fast), although the energy level rarely perks up and it's pretty thin on actual narrative happenings. Wood's tendency toward fantasy is an especially tired device. A furtive sense of humour, plus the big adoring close-ups of the highly photogenic leading ladies, provides the low-key interest. Trivia: Elizabeth Perkins plays the hero's irresponsible mum; she was also Elijah Wood's mother in IAvalon/I. --IRobert Horton/I

April 22, 2004 Annette Gisby (London, UK) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful When I first sat down to watch this film, I was wondering, am I going tobe thinking "that's Frodo" throughout?brWell, the answer is a resounding no. Elijah captures the character ofJones perfectly in this coming of age tale, I suppose it helps that hedoes actually look young.brElijah plays Jones Dillon, a seventeen year old who drops out of collegeon the first day and decides to rent an apartment instead. With nothingexcept a trunk and an old typewriter, he sets about fitting in with hisnew neighbours, Lisa, an aspiring actress (Mandy Moore) and the enigmaticphotographer Jane (Franka Potente.)brRealising that he will actually need some furniture at some stage, hevisits Ma Mabely's Used Furniture shop and meets Ma herself, Debbie Harry,who then guest stars in a few of his fantasies. :-)brIt is slightly quirky, and Jones' fantasies are very funny, but hiding adeeper hurt. He writes letters to his unkown father but never sends them,keeping them in his trunk.brThe acting of all the cast is great and thesoundtrack is fantastic, fits in well with each scene. I just loved thecharacter of Jones he seems so vulnerable and worldly at the same time(and I'm not going to complain about a shirtless Elijah! Hmm, is itgetting hot in here? Ahem!)brExcellent romantic comedy. this is all i want January 26, 2004 3 out of 5 found this review helpful brilliant, truely witty and a real light hearted chick flick. Jones (Wood) is new in the neighbourhood and is finding it hard to get along with his new neighbours. This film is just so enjoyable and I'm not even a big fan of chick flicks but this one I fell in love with immediately, Wood plays a seventeen year old colleger who has moved into a small apartment with some strange neighbours and all he has is a typewriter and some letters, his nearest neighbours are two stunning women and he is torn between them throughout, he has a crazy imagination that will make you laugh and deep family problems. I loved the ending, Elijah kicks ass and he is soooo very gorgous... this is all I want January 26, 2004 2 out of 4 found this review helpful I really fell in love with this film and elijah the very first time I saw it. Not so good for an action or thriller lover as it is quite light hearted, but even I don't like your average chick flick sentimental crap and I thought this particular one was brill. The seventeen year old "Jones" (elijah) settles into a small apartment and doesnt get on to well with his new neighbours at first, he has a crazy imagination which will make you laugh. His two next door neighbours are very stunning young ladies, Moore and the other actress, one is a bit of a player but Jones eventually finds his love. 5 * April 25, 2008 Fake Fion (England) I imediately fell in love with this film. The brilliant introductory soundtrack hooked me almost instantly. And I think from then on the tone and fantasticness of the film never faltered. Jones has an endearing vulnerability and you can't help adoring him. The film had a subtle humour and Jones' fantasies are so funny. Definitely Worth watching Whimsical, leisurely comedy January 26, 2004 5 out of 6 found this review helpful Your response to this film will largely depend on what you were looking for when you rented/bought it. The story of 17 year old, virginal Jones Dillon certainly isn't innovative, and neither is it particularly clever, insightful, or quite as quirky as it's scriptwriters felt it to be. But neither is it 'just another teen movie'.pI certainly didn't bring any post-LotR expectations to this film, and as such I wasn't disappointed. Elijah Wood has never been more cute, more innocent, more lovably huggable as in this film. His characterisation is probably one of the film's major faults, as his relationships with the female leads only serve to make him even more vulnerable, and give the impression that he is taken advantage of by his older, more experienced co-stars... Then again, if you're not a teeny Elijah fan, the sight of him stripped and pinned to the bed by none other than Debbie Harry will certainly take care of some wish-fulfillment ;)pWatch 'All I Want' with an open mind, and be transported back to your teenage years, when your first crush felt like true love, and all your life seemed a series of disappointment. Walk with Jones through his trials, his hopes, and young infatuations, and remember when all your dreams threatened to come true. Do this, and I bet the four stars I gave this film will be warranted.
