Autumn in New York

Pros: There’s a guy named Netto and another named Fakir …
Cons: Can I just say the whole damn movie and leave it at that? …

Uhm, gah! I am speechless.

[takes a deep breath]

You know, at first I felt kinda bad for Telynor with the film I picked out for her to watch but then … then she emailed me with her pick, Autumn in New York....

Pros: Elaine Stritch
Cons: Virtually anything that's not Elaine Stritch

It's a bad sign when a movie has my mind wandering in the opening minutes. Such was the case when I went and saw the pathetic Autumn In New York, a love story that's not in love with its characters. If this film didn't star actors with the name...

Pros: New York is pretty.
Cons: Acting. Story. Odd, quipy dialogue doesn't fit.

It has been quite a while since I've seen a movie that failed in so many ways and bored me to such a degree.

I should warn that I am going to give away the whole movie.


'Autumn in New York' is the story of Will, a fortyish,...

Pros: Winona Ryder glows
Cons: Everything else blows

Once upon a time, there was a movie critic who was in love with the actress Winona Ryder. Those large, dark eyes! That pale-porcelain complexion! That half-swallowed voice hinting at equal parts sexuality and innocence! This particular critic—who,...

Pros: pretty pictures of autumn leaves
Cons: no plot, no real character development, no real romance

I must admit to being quite a selfish person. Don’t get me wrong; I’m generous when the situation calls for it and I treat my friends well. I don’t usually go out of my way to find ways to be selfless and improve the world, though. I’m more reactive...

Pros: Romantic, Heart Warming, Shows That Love Comes To Those Least Expecting.
Cons: Sad Emotional Ending.

Falling in love is one of those moments that many claim to have experienced while later in life they question if that is what really happened to them years before?

This movie is a story where two people become revitalized and find that true...

Pros: Gere's Character Is A Little Interesting
Cons: Poor Script & Story, Winona Ryder's Character.

The best word to describe this juvenile attempt at a major motion picture is, shameless. Richard Gere, Winona Ryder and Joan Chen, I say shame on you. Everyone involved with this project must have known they were manufacturing cheap sappy made for...

Pros: Elaine Stritch gives a great performance as Dolly
Cons: Have you got a few hours for me to list them?

Autumn in New York is a tasteless, pretentious outing that is supposed to tug at your heartstrings, but only succeeds in tugging at your GI tract instead. They should have known from tracking test audiences they needed to hand out barf bags with this...

Pros: Richard Gere.
Cons: very little emotion until the end, slow in the beginning.

Autumn in New York is a story about a rich, lady's man who finds someone he can love only to find out that she is very ill. The movie isn't as touching as I had expected and took quit a while before anything of interest occurred.

At first we...

Pros: great photography, wonderful themes, shows New York
Cons: some of the plot's minor details don't make sense, not a typical summer movie

I know that this has not been a great summer season for moviegoers. Were there any outstanding movies released this summer season? Autumn in New York is not the greatest movie and has flaws, but overall this is decent and enjoyable...

Pros: I needed the nap
Cons: It's bad for a chick flick and that's two major strikes already

Bear with me for a moment because after my beginning rant I plan on being able to convince all to NOT SEE THIS MOVIE...

One of the downfalls of having a girlfriend is the inevitable run in with the most pure form of evil on the...

Pros: Gere doesn't have to act much accent-wise, and he isn't a gynecologist
Cons: Sentimental tearjerker

Well, in this case he can. This movie features Gere and Ryder in romantic roles.... with each other. Only in New York! In the Big Apple, this story could happen. In the rest of the world, probably not.

The point of this movie is a developing...

Pros: Palpable chemistry between the leads; a smart screenplay.
Cons: Occasional genre indulgences -- including overly-scripted lines -- hamper some rather authentic scenes.

Everything tells us to not like this movie. TV ads paint it as a giggly May-December romance, Richard Gere’s cocky smirks have seemingly worn thin, and MGM didn't hold preview screenings for critics – a virtual death-knell for a film's potential quality....

Pros: nifty romance storyline, Gere & Ryder with charm
Cons: totally predictable, and i really don't wanna see a steamy Gere&Ryder scene!!!

I was supposed to catch this movie with a friend the other day but didn’t manage to, till tonight. Oh boy, what a terrible mistake. The beginning was still fairly alright, but the ending really stinks.

So we have the scenario of Will Keane...

Pros: Intoxicatingly beautiful visuals - both scenery and actors
Cons: Heavy-handed, predictable screenplay

When M.G.M. refused to screen this tear-jerking May-December romance for critics, it was an ominous sign because studios usually hide the star-laden stinkers, hoping to get at least one solid weekend at the box-office before the reviews come out....
