A bit of a disappointment after "Paris Je t'aime". There were a few good moments, but it didn't feel romantic like its predecessor or to be about its host city.

Apparently, black people don't love New York. That, or there's no one to tell their story. Where's Spike Lee when you need the man?
A bit less kitsch than "Paris je t'aime" in general but a waste of time, it's a bad movie overall.
I think it could have been a much better movie. From what I've seen of Paris, je t'aime , I believe that was a better film, and this one could have been on the same level. However, the acting along with the stories had fabulous direction. I don't deny that point. It's just they could have highlighted the boroughs/ neighborhoods in a more elaborate way I felt as if the city wasn't a character.
I found this to bequite terrible! Very big let down after Paris Je T'aime! Booo.
well i haven't watched Paris Je T'aime, but i loved the idea to put some stories about different unique specific people in the city. But I think it would be a greater movie if the movies are connected by one single character, like the one who brings up the videocamera.. but she really take some stories in her shoots. well i don't really know... hmmm.. btw i just like the one which is written by Minghella. :)
paris je t'aime was much more romanticized... but what else would u expect in the city of love. new york i love you wasnt about romance per se... but of random chance encounters... just like how that one line goes in the movie 'you never know who your gonna meet, etc...' people should stop trying to compare the two movies and see new york i love you for what it is. Its fun, clever, and has that short story magic
"Paris Je T'aime" was magnificent, however this was a would-be mirror image of "Paris Je T'aime" that failed immensely. It's mostly depressing than lovely!
It's more "Manhattan, I Love You" rather than "New York, I Love You". Where's Spike Lee when you need him?
I actually liked it, I thought it was a great statement on the city multiculturalism. But some of the shorts didn't really fit.
Pleasantly surprised about the film. It does follow the format of Paris, Je T'aime, but with its own style. Sadly, I found the music didn't quite capture the spirit of NY. If you ever lived there you'll know what I mean.
