Yes, I know, you haven't seen it, but you know you don't like it. It's not realistic having John Turturro as a sex symbol. How are we to believe people who look like Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara will pay to have sex. What's with all the Jewish stuff? Wait, Woody Allen is in it? No way.
These are all the reasons I've read for why this movie is terrible. What they missed was a cute story about connections, a funny story about friendship and an ode to NYC's quirkiness. Oh yeah and an award worthy performance by Vanessa Paradis, who has officially twice as many stellar performances in the past three years, as her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, has in the past decade (or more).
If you're a true New Yorker, you'll get the egg cream reference and see the proper way to make it, the Brooklyn/Queens bond, but only Manhattan for business and baseball in the park....sort if. You'll see Jewish humor, which some might find offensive, but I loved and you'll witness in a roundabout way, acceptance. What makes NY the best, most accepting place in the world.
But most off all, you'll see one of the most beautiful moments of female empowerment every filmed. There is no sex, no proclamation of independence or any other act or sense of bravado. There is simply the inhalation of a forgotten smell. When you see it, you'll understand. For that scene alone, I wish this woman could have won every award for supporting actress there was. Not even a nod. I blame Woody Allen.
