The City That Never Sleeps Cures Insomnia With "New York I Love You"

 

 

In the city that never sleeps... love always abounds.

The Story:

A million stars. A half million directors.  All taking a crack at love in the Big Apple.

Zzzzz.

With no style or substance, instead it's a variety of stories taking place in New York where love is the recurring theme.  Each segment segues into the other.  Each shot in a style that the director was wanting to use, edited with their own team, so in other words, a disjointed wreck.

28 minutes in, and I was growing more and more disinterested by the minute.

Trim the number of writers (20) and directors (11) down considerably, find a focus spot, and maybe...

 

Some of the actors used: Bradley Cooper, Andy Garcia, Natalie Portman, Orlando Bloom, John Hurt, Shia LaBeouf, Hayden Christensen and a cast of 1000s.

I'm sure some out there loved the experiment.

Apparently it is the second part of a planned trilogy of films. 

Which this has saved me from seeing either of those, just on principle.

Available for streaming until the 15th of March, so you have a few days to see if I'm right or wrong.

Good luck!

Final Grade: D

Would I Own It: Not a chance.
