Amour à New York

Seriously. I don't think I've ever seen less believable acting that Ryan Scott's. Within 10 minutes I'm annoyed with every line he utters. It's wooden and stiff... It's just bad acting!

Jeannette Sousa isn't all that bad, but also not really convincing.

I bet the story line is somewhat fun, but I just can't stomach it. Do not recommend.

This movie gets better and better as it plays. Some very funny lines and a great ensemble cast. Bravissimo!!

Excellent and original. If you like Jennifer Aniston romantic comedies, nothing wrong with that, but, um, this is very different

Boy meets stranger in cafe. Boy fantasises about sleeping with her, her moving in with him, her rearranging his stuff, him meeting her parents, fighting with her parents. After each daydream, we find that he is really still in the cafe, he was just fantasising. After 19 minutes, I was brain dead. That is 19 minutes of my life I will never get back.

A nice comedy, fresh, inspired, full of interesting ideas, with good dialogue (and small budget). You might not recognize the exteriors because it's not US but Canada (Toronto).

And the Actors playing the two main characters (Jack and Maria) are Canadians too. They also wrote the script and produced the movie, together, and truly are husband and wife in real life. Which is nice and interesting at the same time. As it is movie's flash-forward structure, which adds to production's overall quality and originality.

Many good actors help to keep the attention high, starting from the great Joaquin de Almeida (who really is Portuguese) to Vik Sahay. Singer Nelly Furtado plays a nice cameo (Nelia: Maria's favorite cousin…) and the musical score includes one piece I like and it's poorly known: 'Ticket to Love' from the Hawaiian band 'Goodbye Elliott'. Enjoy.
