New York, I Love , which looked like a NYU senior film project, did have very funny parts. However many of the scenes dragged on a bit, and it seemed as if the people behind the film got too caught up with their work and made the movie seem like seperate art/fashion scenes out of indie student film. For example, There is a scene Natalie Portman, who plays a Hassidic jew who is about to get married. Just after about 3 minutes of talking bsuiness with an Indian man, she reflects on her life as you see tears running down her cheaks because she is upset abou cutting her hair for religiious reasons. (At least I think that is the reasonI wouldn't be surpised if the movie meant for it to be love at first sight haha) Anyways, that's one example. What upset me the most about this film was the awful portrayal of New York City. In my oponionn, Woody Allen and Spike Lee are the only people in Hollyiwood that can accurately portray NYC>

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Je t'aime Paris was one of the best; according to the credits, this is now a "franchise" and the next movie will be "I love you Shanghai." Also in the credits were the names of the thirty or so lawyers (!) who were instrumental in the making of the movie. It was formulaic, precious, and pretentious. I grew up in New York and my wife lived there for 25 years; this movie was a waste of our time.

It was nothing as I had imagined it to be. There was no resolution at all at the end of the movie. I was disappointed. Great actors, but poor ending.

The 2nd installment of the shorts, having Paris Je'Taime being the debut.. New York I love you definitely hits home.. I have never been to Paris (yet) so I didn't quite understand what they were trying to convey.. I enjoyed it but didn't quite "get" it... NY I love you, on the other hand.. I 100% felt from the minute the movie started. I think you really have to understand (or have visited) the city before you really enjoy these City Driven Movies. DEFINITELY the cinematography is worth watching alone.. but to really get the storylines.. I think a visit is definitely a must.
