This Movie makes NYC look like a Hollywood Fashion SHow
New York, I Love , which looked like a NYU senior film project, did have very funny parts. However many of the scenes dragged on a bit, and it seemed as if the people behind the film got too caught up with their work and made the movie seem like seperate art/fashion scenes out of indie student film. For example, There is a scene Natalie Portman, who plays a Hassidic jew who is about to get married. Just after about 3 minutes of talking bsuiness with an Indian man, she reflects on her life as you see tears running down her cheaks because she is upset abou cutting her hair for religiious reasons. (At least I think that is the reasonI wouldn't be surpised if the movie meant for it to be love at first sight haha) Anyways, that's one example.
What upset me the most about this film was the awful portrayal of New York City. In my oponionn, Woody Allen and Spike Lee are the only people in Hollyiwood that can accurately portray NYC>
