New York, I Love You
(2009)
Starring: Rachel Bilson, Ethan Hawke, Anton Yelchin, Chris Cooper, James Caan, and many other notable actors/actresses
New York I love you in comparison to it’s predecessor, Paris J’taime was extremely disappointing. Paris J’Taime was primarily focused on the many different ways love manifests itself and intermingling people’s great love for their city. New York, I Love You seemed to be based primarily on sex, which caused me to lose any respect and interest in the film altogether. It was surface level and uninteresting as a whole. I found the acting in the majority of the scenes to be poor. A few that stood above the rubble of the rest were the scenes with Anton Yelchin, Chris Cooper and his wife, and the scene of the painter and the Chinese herbalist. Overall it was a movie that tried to have heart and was able only to produced a Grinch sized sentimentality. To quote the famous words of Doctor Suess, “ I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.”
