Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Louise Lasser and Robert Modicka put their hearts into the story of a 60-ish couple trying to make a go of it, regardless of his friends' ridicule and her low self-esteem. Their honest acting nearly gives this failed attempt at a Woody Allen-style episode of Friends needed humanity. The problem? Lasser and Modicka are not the lead actors in this film, whose tritely punning title is about the extent of writer-director Amos Kollek's wit. Anna Thomson is the ostensible heroine in this story about the denizens of a New York City diner and their romantic travails. The 35-year-old waitress, unlucky in life and love, seems such a candidate for long-term therapy that her unconventional outlook isn't so much profoundly sympathetic as simply pathetic. Kollek also stretches credulity by allowing a sex-show performer to melt at the badgering appearances of one of her "clients," the creepiest of the whole lot. --Kevin Filipski
Description

Stuck in a relationship with a married man for far too long, Bella takes a chance on frustrated novelist/taxi driver Bruno. Determined not to scare yet another man off with her dreams of marriage and family, Bella plays it cool and tells Bruno she hates children. A tough break for the womanizer since his ex-wife has just dumped two small children on him ... In her coffee shop world, Bella witnesses she's not alone in the bittersweet battle against romance's difficulties. Shy widower Paul struggles through the tender courtship of lively widow Emily.

And the persistent Bella discovers fairy tales can come true...even in New York City.

Average looking girls, boring, waste of money.......2006-08-20
If you're going to sell softcore porn, at least make it an interesting watch. This is just a behind the scenes of a photo shoot they are trying to milk more money out of.
I don't see anyone over 13 enjoying this.
Check out Misty Mundae if you want softcore that's actually entertaining.
I'll take some fries with that "shake".......2006-06-10
I just wanted to use that line anyway. I heart porn anyways.
This makes me smile!!.......2005-06-15
This DVD is hot. The girls are so stunning. The camera doesn't waste any time showing us the goods and when we see them we get an eye full. The women are young and sexy and very girl-next-doorish. The feature is made more interesting because of the subsequent interviews of the girls themselves. Hearing the girls talk about themselves while we see them get naked is very arousing! You really do get a different effect when you hear the models talk and move as opposed to just seeing pictures of them in a magazine or on the Internet.
The girls look very comfortable, show no modesty, and you can tell that they are all just having fun.
This is an excellent DVD to watch on a lonely night!

Louise Lasser and Robert Modicka put their hearts into the story of a 60-ish couple trying to make a go of it, regardless of his friends' ridicule and her low self-esteem. Their honest acting nearly gives this failed attempt at a Woody Allen-style episode of Friends needed humanity. The problem? Lasser and Modicka are not the lead actors in this film, whose tritely punning title is about the extent of writer-director Amos Kollek's wit. Anna Thomson is the ostensible heroine in this story about the denizens of a New York City diner and their romantic travails. The 35-year-old waitress, unlucky in life and love, seems such a candidate for long-term therapy that her unconventional outlook isn't so much profoundly sympathetic as simply pathetic. Kollek also stretches credulity by allowing a sex-show performer to melt at the badgering appearances of one of her "clients," the creepiest of the whole lot. --Kevin Filipski

Customer Reviews:
MOSTLY CHARMING "MOMENTS" FILM.......2005-06-07
As films woven around slice-of-life vignettes typically go, this is a relaxed, thoughtful, often meandering film. We follow a couple of tracks strewn with romantic hits and misses, all of which intertwine at the end. No surprise there.
The title owes its wordplay to our characters either working or lurking at a roadside cafe and chomping away their misgivings about Life-And-All-That as a means to grope, often literally, for answers.
The pace is lethargic and lends the film a fey overtone. This probably played a part in my surprise at a certain denouement twist. It's cute, depending on whom you ask.
But the characters I shall take issue with. The lead waitress is an implausible caricature, a former Wall Street banker so jaded by her career that she chose to wait tables at a nondescript corner joint. Her romantic interest is a well educated English cab driver with an immaculate London accent, a budding writer by night. The parallel romance between a 60-something couple rediscovering their atavistic bond could have been sweet but ends up teary and saccharine.
Not the biggest of quibbles, I guess, New York is a city of surprises. Plus it's an indie so warts shouldn't be shocking. Certainly a worthy rental if you don't mind the usual holes that accompany an offbeat package.
Age Over Youth.......2005-03-31
At first, Anna Thomson's botox lips, nose job, and silicone distracted me. I notice that this look is big in Hollywood, the bee stung lips of so many movie stars, their big boobs on a starved stick of a body makes the young guys pant, but the girls can't possibly match the impossible can they? Anna is an educated woman that has rejected Wall Street to work as a waitress in a diner. She's 35 and her mom's applying the pressure. Her Broadway paramour, a married man has strung her along since she was 23. Enter Jamie Harris, starving taxicab driving, failed novelist. Suddenly ex-wife dumps Jamie's kid plus one on him. Naturally through a series of unlikely big city moments, Anna and Jamie hook up, lose each other, and love.
Then there's the autumn autumn match of still spry, 70 year old Robert Modica and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, ex-Woodie Allen wife Louise Lasser. This relationship of seasoned citizens so rare in film took the show away from the yougen's. We cared whether or not sweet, only had sex with someone he loved, Modica can get it up for willing Lasser. We hoped the drugstore was stocked with Viagara.
The screenplay offered some silly city shtick to be New York City hip, but these scenes fall flat. Nevertheless, this one, the babe and I enjoyed.
Wooden, 2-Dimensional and Slow.......2003-05-06
This movie was filled with stereotypes and characters that just didn't make me care. The editing was self-indulgent and slow and there were several scenes that should have ended up on the cutting room floor. It is an uncomfortable movie with little warmth and an overdose of angst. The quirks that they tried to work in for the characters to make them human were very contrived and made me conscious I was watching a movie rather than allowing me to get involved in the story and characters as people. The actors did their best - but couldn't overcome the flaws in directing, editing and story line.
Louise Lasser does it again!!!.......2002-08-12
Louise Lasser is as brilliantly funny in this movie as she was in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman over 25 years ago. Although she has a supporting role, she fills the screen with her familiar style of comedy and sweetness. I recommend this film just because of her.
Sparkling.......2001-08-01
... I have to write about this glorious film as the average rating is way below acceptable. I saw it twice in one week, living in Greece this spring. This is an unusual, refreshing film about Bella, an unusual mid-30's NY woman, who refuses to live typically and a whole set of Big Apple characters she interacts with who share her life and her free spirit. How can you not adore a woman who throws her perfumed just-out-of-the-tub lush towels out the window to tantalize and warm the hobos under her apartment, a woman who still cares for her unkind older lover whom the camera has no sympathy for, and who herself has an elegant compassion for the colourful characters she waits on in her diner workplace or who interact with them? These include the exhibitionist peep show intellectual, the older guy with the shyness of an adolescent, as well as the taxi driver/closet writer and young father who is overawed by Bella's unique outlook and femininity, and you should be itching to know about the fantastical 5-D fairy tale outcome to a chance confrontation in the heroine's NY life. I can't wait for the video...when's it coming out?

Louise Lasser and Robert Modicka put their hearts into the story of a 60-ish couple trying to make a go of it, regardless of his friends' ridicule and her low self-esteem. Their honest acting nearly gives this failed attempt at a Woody Allen-style episode of Friends needed humanity. The problem? Lasser and Modicka are not the lead actors in this film, whose tritely punning title is about the extent of writer-director Amos Kollek's wit. Anna Thomson is the ostensible heroine in this story about the denizens of a New York City diner and their romantic travails. The 35-year-old waitress, unlucky in life and love, seems such a candidate for long-term therapy that her unconventional outlook isn't so much profoundly sympathetic as simply pathetic. Kollek also stretches credulity by allowing a sex-show performer to melt at the badgering appearances of one of her "clients," the creepiest of the whole lot. --Kevin Filipski
Customer Reviews:
MOSTLY CHARMING "MOMENTS" FILM.......2005-06-07
As films woven around slice-of-life vignettes typically go, this is a relaxed, thoughtful, often meandering film. We follow a couple of tracks strewn with romantic hits and misses, all of which intertwine at the end. No surprise there.
The title owes its wordplay to our characters either working or lurking at a roadside cafe and chomping away their misgivings about Life-And-All-That as a means to grope, often literally, for answers.
The pace is lethargic and lends the film a fey overtone. This probably played a part in my surprise at a certain denouement twist. It's cute, depending on whom you ask.
But the characters I shall take issue with. The lead waitress is an implausible caricature, a former Wall Street banker so jaded by her career that she chose to wait tables at a nondescript corner joint. Her romantic interest is a well educated English cab driver with an immaculate London accent, a budding writer by night. The parallel romance between a 60-something couple rediscovering their atavistic bond could have been sweet but ends up teary and saccharine.
Not the biggest of quibbles, I guess, New York is a city of surprises. Plus it's an indie so warts shouldn't be shocking. Certainly a worthy rental if you don't mind the usual holes that accompany an offbeat package.
Age Over Youth.......2005-03-31
At first, Anna Thomson's botox lips, nose job, and silicone distracted me. I notice that this look is big in Hollywood, the bee stung lips of so many movie stars, their big boobs on a starved stick of a body makes the young guys pant, but the girls can't possibly match the impossible can they? Anna is an educated woman that has rejected Wall Street to work as a waitress in a diner. She's 35 and her mom's applying the pressure. Her Broadway paramour, a married man has strung her along since she was 23. Enter Jamie Harris, starving taxicab driving, failed novelist. Suddenly ex-wife dumps Jamie's kid plus one on him. Naturally through a series of unlikely big city moments, Anna and Jamie hook up, lose each other, and love.
Then there's the autumn autumn match of still spry, 70 year old Robert Modica and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, ex-Woodie Allen wife Louise Lasser. This relationship of seasoned citizens so rare in film took the show away from the yougen's. We cared whether or not sweet, only had sex with someone he loved, Modica can get it up for willing Lasser. We hoped the drugstore was stocked with Viagara.
The screenplay offered some silly city shtick to be New York City hip, but these scenes fall flat. Nevertheless, this one, the babe and I enjoyed.
Wooden, 2-Dimensional and Slow.......2003-05-06
This movie was filled with stereotypes and characters that just didn't make me care. The editing was self-indulgent and slow and there were several scenes that should have ended up on the cutting room floor. It is an uncomfortable movie with little warmth and an overdose of angst. The quirks that they tried to work in for the characters to make them human were very contrived and made me conscious I was watching a movie rather than allowing me to get involved in the story and characters as people. The actors did their best - but couldn't overcome the flaws in directing, editing and story line.
Louise Lasser does it again!!!.......2002-08-12
Louise Lasser is as brilliantly funny in this movie as she was in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman over 25 years ago. Although she has a supporting role, she fills the screen with her familiar style of comedy and sweetness. I recommend this film just because of her.
Sparkling.......2001-08-01
... I have to write about this glorious film as the average rating is way below acceptable. I saw it twice in one week, living in Greece this spring. This is an unusual, refreshing film about Bella, an unusual mid-30's NY woman, who refuses to live typically and a whole set of Big Apple characters she interacts with who share her life and her free spirit. How can you not adore a woman who throws her perfumed just-out-of-the-tub lush towels out the window to tantalize and warm the hobos under her apartment, a woman who still cares for her unkind older lover whom the camera has no sympathy for, and who herself has an elegant compassion for the colourful characters she waits on in her diner workplace or who interact with them? These include the exhibitionist peep show intellectual, the older guy with the shyness of an adolescent, as well as the taxi driver/closet writer and young father who is overawed by Bella's unique outlook and femininity, and you should be itching to know about the fantastical 5-D fairy tale outcome to a chance confrontation in the heroine's NY life. I can't wait for the video...when's it coming out?
