I Heart New York

by Holly Godbey

Aug 13, 2009

Like most women my age, I enjoy kicking back with popcorn and my girlfriends and watching a traditional romantic comedy. Although unrealistic and predictable, I am easily entertained by the cheesy one-liners and sappy moments. The stories are always embellished with female characters who make way too much money for the amount of time and stress they put into their career. Usually the main character holds an upper management position for a major, upscale company — and she runs the show simply by pacing her absurdly large office with blue tooth in ear. After breezing through a seemingly stress-free workday (always started off with a daily morning jog), she returns to her even more absurdly large apartment where she cooks dinner for herself and then faces the conflict of choosing one of the five males pining for her love and attention. The males usually differ in income and style, but all are insanely attractive and crazy about her. (Oh, no! What is a poor, skinny, 20-something woman to do?!) Yes, the redundant plotline can get old, but the one thing I do love about this particular genre is that the movies almost always take place in New York City. No, this does not mean I will stand in line for The Proposal, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Actually, I can be quite certain there was never a line for that movie. But, I am interested in the more grounded love stories featured in the film anthology New York, I Love You. From the producers of Paris, je t’aime, New York, I Love You focuses on love in all five boroughs and features a star-studded ensemble cast of big names such as Natalie Portman, Rachel Bilson, Ethan Hawke, Orlando Bloom, Shia LaBeouf, Christina Ricci and more. Cheesy or not, nothing beats a love story set in a city where people pass by the millions, where unpredictable moments feel like fate and where each kiss is surrounded by brilliant architecture lighting up the sky. Plus, when you really do find love in the city, you will feel like the star of your own romantic comedy. And everyone knows romantic comedies ALWAYS have a happy ending! –Courtney Centeno, account executive
