Ten different love (or something close) stories by ten different directors (and a director of transistions), not a new concept, but just one that naturally had to adapted for New York of all places.
First reason to love this movie is that even if you hate love stories you can't really look past the insane cast; I mean, they pulled Blake Lively for about a ten second scene. I'd sit through any movie for ten seconds of her, I may or may not have at some point been known to watch a tv show starring her.
Next, every story is quite different, and they have a nice range of sadness to funiness to ackwardness, you get the idea.
Since there each story is relatively short, it's hard to say a lot about the movie as a whole, but I think everyone will enjoy the change of pace as a new director introduces two or more new rich characters. They really do a nice job of indivualizing so many in people in that big mess of a city.
I'd like to add points because of another Rachel Bilson/Hayden Christensen pairing, even though I guess I'd rather see another Mischa Barton/Hayden Christensen movie pairing instead. Oh well. Also for including (the new) "Navigation, Chekov here!"...
4.1/5
The whole reason I wanted to see this is because of Blake Lively...Even though she was in only 10 seconds, the story she was in was my favorite..and yes I watch Gossip Girl
