New York I Love You

Movie Review by Phil & Carol
Phil - Must See Now!Carol - Wait for the Video
A fascinating compilation of vignettes about New York, couples and romance. Harkins to the style of Crash - where various short segments link characters from each other. And like Crash, the 2005 Oscar winner, it’s interesting, creative and engaging. Remember Naked City , the 1960’s TV series with the tag line: “There are eight million stories in [New York]. This has been one of them.” Well, here we have several love stories interwoven together, each with their own storyline, director, stars, etc. It takes a few minutes to get into the mood of this film and I would expect that a New Yorker will fall in love with these stories much more quickly. They’ll find themselves identifying with the scenery, ambiance, accents and even the humor. Different.
