Movie Review: "New York, I Love You" Not Worth $12.50
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 while eating a Bastardly Mercado Certified lunch by Moe
Yes, it has "chick flick" written all over it, but whatever. My lady-friend wanted to check it out & my last choice "The Invention of Lying" sucked balls, so I owed her a movie. Ricky Gervais's movie was so bad that we cut our losses & walked out after sitting through an hour. That's what happens when you set your expectations too high...The same goes for life, as well.
Anyway, for those of you who don't know much about "New York, I Love You," here's a quick summary. The project involves a long list of celebrities (see poster above for names) who star in short stories that share a common theme: Finding love in New York City. A couple years back, a similar movie was made about finding love in Paris.
It's possible I was tired (went to a 10PM showing), but the film definitely had some major pacing issues. I found myself checking the time---first look was an hour into the ordeal. A few stories attempted to either be too smart or too deep for their own good and ultimately crashed & burned. The stories with the old couple & Orlando Bloom were my personal favorites, but at the same time, nothing to brag about either. Whatever the case, Hollywood should leave short stories to the Russians.
Anyway, here's the trailer:
And here's the trailer to the next movie I plan to watch "Black Dynamite":

I want to see this flick, only to find if it's as good as "Paris, je t'aime"... a very great movie, imo.
