JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

SnoopyStyle These are approximately a dozen stories taking place in NYC. Some of them are interconnected. There are some good, some bad and some indifferent.1. Hayden Christensen is a thief flirting with Rachel Bilson. That's a scary acting duo. The arrival of Andy García does not necessarily save it.2. Natalie Portman is a religious Jewish buyer who is about to get married and Irrfan Khan is an Indian seller. This is an unusual and fascinating pairing. These are the interesting stuff that makes this movie worthwhile.3. Orlando Bloom is a composer talking to lovely Christina Ricci on the phone who is urging him to finish his work. This is one of those indifferent ones. Exactly how interesting is somebody talking on the phone? 4. Ethan Hawke flirts with Maggie Q after lighting her cigarette. She turns out to be a prostitute. OMG. Ethan Hawke is doing 'Before Sunrise' except a bit edgier and sexually provocative.5. After Anton Yelchin got stood up for prom by Blake Lively, James Caan sets him up with his daughter Olivia Thirlby except she's in a wheelchair. They end up having sex. This is a good one with a fun ending.6. Bradley Cooper and Drea de Matteo are meeting up for a date and we hear their interior monologues. This idea is more interesting on the pages than on the screen.7. Gimpy Shia LaBeouf helps Julie Christie settle into her hotel room. Shia's father John Hurt works at the front desk. It's a bit too desperate to be artistic.8. Carlos Acosta is caring for little girl Taylor Geare as he brings her to Jacinda Barrett. People assume he's a manny. I like the locations but the unknown relationship isn't as interesting as writer/director Natalie Portman hopes. After all, Jeff Goldblum had a black kid when he faced dinosaurs.9. Painter Ugur Yücel buys from herbalist Shu Qi. He asks her out but dies before the date.10. Robin Wright Penn starts talking to stranger Chris Cooper on the street while having a smoke but are they strangers? This could be more but they don't even fully use the time that they're given.11. Eva Amurri is arguing with boyfriend Justin Bartha and he decides to spontaneously buy a trip to Rome.12. Eli Wallach and Cloris Leachman are an elderly couple. Two veterans doing aimless conversations while on a very long walk.Emilie Ohana is a video artist who pops up from time to time.

juneebuggy I liked this about as much as Paris, Je T'aime, which is to say not so much. The attraction of course is the all-star cast involved, its a regular omnibus of talent in a series of ten artsy, disjointed short stories about love and relationships in New York.It's a mixed bag; some good, some boring, some make you think and some are just plain bizarre but none of them are really long enough to matter. This collection didn't leave its mark on me and if there was a bigger message meant to be conveyed, I didn't get it. Mostly it was a waste of time. I guess a couple stories did stand out; Natalie Portman as a Hasidic Jew fantasizing about her East Indian diamond broker, Anton Yelchin's prom date story was good, weird, silly. Um yeah, a big waste of talent. 7/15/14

Curtis Medina I've recently been talking with someone close to me about what "love" really is and really isn't. The thing people think love is often isn't truly what it should be defined as. In the case of New York, I Love You what is presented as the follow up to the uniquely crafted tales of love gained and lost in Paris entitled Paris J'taime (or Paris I Love You) ends up being not so much an American remake as a bunch of immature kids trying to recreate the magic they see their adult counterparts doing. Every tale here is about things related to love, but is actually a diversion from love... the sort of story you tell someone about when you were in kindergarten and you had your first erection... no not love... just a sign that you may be seeking it. While Paris J'taime had tales of actors rekindling their love for each other and the stage OR an actress finding love in the comfort of an unlikely blind companion NEW YORK I LOVE YOU tells the tales of a man's depraved fantasy of having sex with a disabled woman hanging from a tree. It is amazing that the producers let these projects go out "as-is" given how it severely wrecked the franchise, the original artistic premise and seriously made American's look like our idea of romance is children looking under girls skirts. It's low class, amateur hour filmmaking and writing and the only excuse I can come up with is that unlike the first film, which though it had 21 unique world class filmmakers managed to have a congruity to its overall tone that brought it all together, this film seems like a bunch of film students running around on a 48hr film festival. It is a cheap adaptation and I'm sorry to say I saw it in theaters. What can you expect when you have a ton of filmmakers like pop-icon Brett Ratner and actors attempting to be filmmakers like Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansen. This shouldn't be a showcase for new directors... this should be a showcase for world class filmmakers who really know, understand and have proved themselves with a New York sensibility. Where's Woody Allen's contribution? Where is Coppola? Where are the voices of New York, new or old, that could have made this film as impactive and memorable as the Paris counterpart? All together this is an embarrassing failure.

Desertman84 New York, I Love You is a romantic anthology consisting of eleven short films, each by a different director. The film has an ensemble cast that includes Bradley Cooper, Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Portman, Anton Yelchin, Hayden Christensen, Orlando Bloom, Irrfan Khan, Rachel Bilson, Chris Cooper, Andy García, Christina Ricci, John Hurt, Cloris Leachman, Robin Wright Penn, Julie Christie, Maggie Q, Ethan Hawke, James Caan, Shu Qi, and Eli Wallach.The short films all relate in some way to the subject of love, and are set among the five boroughs of New York City. The film is a sequel of sorts of "Paris, je t'aime" which had the same structure, and is the second film in the Cities of Love franchise, created and produced by Emmanuel Benbihy. Unlike "Paris, je t'aime", the short films of New York, I Love You all have a unifying thread, of a videographer who films the other characters.The short films are never fantastic as they are marginally engaging and sporadically clever.Also,it often is rather slight and unimaginative of New York City.Also,it is characterized by the consistency of the mediocrity and the uniform fraudulence of the mini-premises.But the movie as a whole does have a few moments worth enjoying as it brilliantly captures the moods and tempo of New York such as its vibrant pulse, its energy, its ethnic diversity, its clamorous excitement.The cinematography and editing is superb and makes up for any shortfalls of the stories but the film's obvious draw will be its stellar ensemble cast.
