Review of Next Stop, Greenwich Village (1976) by Andrejs P — 27 Aug 2010

Story about an aspiring actor moving from his parents house to big scary greenwich village in the 50's. at first I thought I wasnt going to like the movie (the scene with our lead giving a fake acceptance speech for an oscar while waiting for the train really got on my nerves), then as the movie went on I started to like it (mainly because of shelley winters), then a few days after watching it I've come to the conclusion it really wasnt that good.

Its like the movie Woody Allen would have made in highschool as his first movie. There is no character development (unlike what someone said in a previous review) except for the main character. You learn a little about the supporting characters, but what you do learn is pretty much from one sentence. And another thing that bugged me.....the congo line they made walking down the street. I CANT STAND people who are weird just to be weird aka attention whores. If you are going to try to be weird, at least have a real reason for doing so.

This movie could have been good and worth a recommendation, its pretty close actually, but I really cant recommend it.
