Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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

M MALIK i mean it i picked this up at the DVD store it was in Bradley coopers 5 in one DVD collection.its got a huge cast & many directors & teams worked on it.and scarlet directed a scene which they cut it .many stories with different themes they each tell & explain it to the viewer but the minus point begins rising when the screen play changes its game as the stories are hanging in between each director with a story try too hard to mention & give something but fails.and as soon as i begin watching this i saw Maggie q she player a hooker not just saying because i am a fan of her but she really did good action flicks so thought she would do similar.also irfan khan a greatest actor who has to go through this crap,he deserved better other then these two all actors including Natalie port-man cant act and give excitement to audience.overall this film tried to fall in creative art genre with love,sadness & emotions same old style with many directors touch why?only to gain a cult status & some critics might dig it.well i am disappointed in it.for once tell me what did they tell about new york that world don't know something thats not written on internet about it.damn these people.i am not against character meeting then going away but in this case the characters were more like some c grade cartoonMy Rating is 2/10 a good idea not gone bad it was never good it was awful from the start.please don't try hard to show intelligence because all in this end will be left a product built by info.my point is take inspiration its not bad but use your brain don't copy paste even the exact idea i mean if you are giving me a coconut cookie yes give me but put some new stuff into it not just effort.i hope you folks get what i am trying to say

pricedominic There really is so many things wrong with this film i don't even know where to start. Lets deal with the main problem, the plot. 10 short stories, 10 'romantic tales' set around the city of New York City portrayed by young, bright talented actors. Problem being that not only has every single actor seem to be given a role that doesn't really suit them (Orlando Bloom is a loner and a struggling writer, Hayden Christiansen as a Con Man.... Really???), their stories are so short and inconsequential that you really don't care about any of them.If you have seen films like Valentines Day, New Years Eve, and the classic that is Love Actually, then you know exactly what this film needs to make it successful. It needs a central role. It needs a person or two people that you care what happens to them, i.e Hugh Grant and Martine in Love Actually, or Ashton and Jennifer in Valentines Day. This film doesn't have that at all. Not only does it not have that, it doesn't even really have any characters that are remotely likable.This film bombed in the first few weeks of its release, and it really deserved to. The writers/directors seemed to be so obsessed with getting all these stories in and fitting them into New York somehow, they forgot to include character and story progression, two of the most important factors when creating a film.In my 24 years (very soon to be 25) here on this earth there have only ever been 3 films that i have watched and hated the fact that i had just wasted my life watching them. Donnie Darko, Machete, and now this load of rubbish.Please do not watch this. If you want to watch a film like this, then please watch the 3 i have mentioned above, or 'He's just not that into you' which is another very decent film. How this has managed to get an average of 6.4 i have no idea. Maybe just the people who love Bradley Cooper voting highly because he is in it? can't see any other reason at all to be honest. Absolutely Terrible.

bababear It may seem to give ten stars to a film that is admittedly flawed. But when you consider the number of writers and directors involved, this is a great piece of work. And if one segment doesn't hold your interest, another will come along in a few minutes.There were several segments that were great -- A young couple is walking along the street. She argues that he never wants to go anywhere. This very short segment, for some reason, made me unreasonably happy. -- In a touching segment written and directed by Natalie Portman, a man takes a little girl to Central Park. -- A young woman who is an orthodox Jew (Portman) prepares for her very traditional wedding. -- A man (Chris Cooper) is talking on his cell phone and smoking. By the way, for some reason characters in this smoke like mad. A beautiful woman (Robin Penn Wright) comes out of a restaurant, asks for a light, and engages him in conversation. -- A young man who has been jilted takes a wheelchair bound girl to the prom. -- A singer (Julie Christie) visits an elegant hotel and contemplates suicide in a segment written by Anthony Mingella which veers toward magical realism and is very different from the others.There are other stories here, all of them at least interesting.I personally find it irritating that people making films today are reluctant to provide us with opening titles. Too often I was wondering who a performer was, or I was thinking "Isn't that...?"Faults: 1. There is needless profanity that adds nothing to the characters and seems randomly thrown in as if someone rushed to the set shouting, "Hey, we want to get an R rating so the kids will think this is American PIE or HOSTEL and come see it." To me the smoking was a turnoff, too- probably because in the circles I run in I'd say that maybe one in ten people smoke. 2. Not really a fault, but much of this seemed to have been written for the stage. The vast bulk of the film is two people talking. There's nothing wrong with that, but it can become static. 3. Some characters have minor parts in other stories. There are just too many people for audiences to sort out in such a short period of time.If you like the short stories of O. Henry (whose writing is a major influence on the structure of most of the stories) you'll enjoy NEW YORK I LOVE YOU. And if you've never read O. Henry, you really should.
