You disgust me.
Not terrible, but certainly not good. Obviously with any vignettes there will be low points and standouts... the most realized scene was definitely Leachman/Wallach, with Portman/Khan as a second. The rest were pretty bland/strangely unrealized, with the worst being Ratner's prom night escapade (what decade is this?) and Minghella's out of sync film-school style hotel scene. This could have been much, much better.
This was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. Although it's hard to rate as some stories were great and others really sucked. I really like the one Natalie Portman directed and the cinematography in Shekhar Kapur's was great aside that it was 'meh'..
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.
Best Segment:Joshua Marston Segments I Liked:Jiang Yao,Shunji Iwai,Brett Ratner,Fatih Akin. Segments I Didn't Like:Mira Nair,Yvan Attal,Shekhar Kapur,Natalie Portman,Randy Ballsmeyer. Worst Segment:Allen Hughes
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?
Very little of New York is shown in this movie. A more reflective title could be "Variations on Love in a City That Just Happens to Be Called New York" (...à la Hong Sang Soo)
A bit less kitsch than "Paris je t'aime" in general but a waste of time, it's a bad movie overall.
Soooo painful. The only segment that's any good is Brett Ratner's.- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D37hnyYjk4
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?
