Little Manhattan (2005)

Such a frustrating disappointment

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A sweet charming story about a 10 year old finding his first love in New York city. The movie is funny, adorable, tart romantic comedy showing what falling in love for the first time is. Characters are fine and actors have done a good job. The movie however rides on the crisp story, funny plot and simple but nice direction. Its an adorable and sweet (but yet not too sweet movie. Music does a good job to keep up with the changes in the mood of the characters; and good that it does not overdoes it. The movie is recommended for anyone who likes romantic comedies. It is definitely going to leave the sweetness of first love with you.

Don't be fooled by the apparent cuteness of two 11 year olds falling in love! The bad acting makes this one hard to watch. Confusing reactions to poorly delivered lines made me cringe like I was listening to nails on a chalk board. Most of the time it seemed like the kids had no idea why they were saying what they were saying so there was no variation in the tone of their interaction or the movie in general. The little boy was the worst and the little girl seems to have been told one too many times in her life that she's a good actress. Gosh, this movie was so hard and frustrating to watch! I suppose I could be nicer since these are just children but then this wouldn't be an honest review now would it?

A refreshing movie about love and relationships.Liked this movie a lot. Its sweet, introspective and enjoyable. The actors, Josh and Charlie, really acted very well. It is surprising since they are children but they watch they convey their feelings (especially Josh) is absolutely amazing.It is a surprisingly good watch for a low budget film with no stars in it. Its clean, refreshing and makes for a great watch without any doubt. Check it out and you won't regret watching it for sure. The music in the film is also a great plus for it, since the singers have so much depth in their voice and it is well suited to capture the moments that they wish to convey.

Love in New Yok brings back memories of my first love. Only I was 7 years-old. A young man named Gabe(Josh Huterson) meets his friend in karate class named Rosemary(Charlie Ray). They once knew each other in kindergarten, now hey go to karate class together. Those two were an item, just like me when I was in 2nd Grade. The karate teacher knew they like each other, only Gabe wasn't man-enough to show it. For Gabe it's hard because his parents are divorced, and it's his first time on knowing love. Most boys think it's gross when a girl kisses him. I would say, "WHIMPS!" I never got grossed out when my girlfriend kissed me. When Rosemary was getting a new sparring partner, Gabe thinks they were the new item. However, he was a jerk realizing that she didn't like him. He cries and cries when he hurt her. I was man enough to admit being a jerk when I called her a name I regretted. Took me two days to say I was sorry. Then she was going to a private school, and he learns that out of all the girls, she was the one he ever loved. Love is strange, it hurts, and it heals, this movie is perfect for me. Simply because it brought back memories. 4 out of 5 stars!
