just watched New York, I Love You and i’ve finally found a movie i truly dislike - when rachel bilson said “losing your cellphone is like losing your mind” within the first 5 minutes of the film..that was it. no subtlety (with repeated lines like “the thing I love most about New York is..” and “This city is full of surprises, isn’t it?”), characters that are way too self-involved, weak and inconsequential storylines, too much unnecessary focus on sex for no apparent reason, obvious attempts to be “arty”, hardly any authenticity (although i did like the old couple at the end of the film).
“As a whole, this movie is a mediocre postcard you keep hoping will become the enthralling slide show it thinks it is.”
i couldn’t agree more
