Review of Autumn in New York (2000) by Mikhail B — 18 Nov 2011

Richard Geer plays an aging lothario who newest target is an extremely young Ryder who catches his eye one Autumn evening in New York City. The result of their instant attraction is a tempestuous affair which becomes complicated after he finds out that she is terminally ill. The originality of the plot was a bit predictable with this Renaissance woman and a modern day bachelor but the beautiful autumn scenery enveloped me in a bittersweet lovey-dovey atmosphere that sedated me like a cup of tea to make me temporarily forget about this romance mismatch and instead sympathize for the situation alone. It is an excellent movie for anyone who has ever read and thoroughly enjoyed a Harelequinesque novel.

One redeeming feature is the filming of New York. Just Beautiful!!
