New York before Sex and the City5
Folks, this is not Oscar-worthy cinema, but it is a fun flick, especially for those who want to take a peek at the way things used to be. The music is incredible, and the story is nothing more than a romantic comedy set in its time. In this day and age, I have tried to watch plenty of awful films that would make this look like movie of the year. In fact, if this came out on DVD, I probably would order it and give it to my friends.

If you are a nostalgic person who LOVES the music of Chic, you will enjoy this movie. I know my wife and I had a good laugh with it during our Christmas holiday together.

Good soundtrack, bad movie1
This movie follows my observation that a good soundtrack album (unfortunately, no longer in print) means that the movie itself is poor.

The story of single life in Manhattan pretty much ends up where it started, with Saul Rubinek's character searching for the meaning of love and almost getting married, but still doesn't know where he's going.

In the meantime, the tale goes from the bizzarre (he literally rows away from a bad date) to the tacky (a singles weekend in the Adarondaks), but leaves the viewer wondering why he wasted 1 1/2 hours of his time with an uneven, unresolved, somewhat depressing story. Seeing Marcia Straussman (better known as Julie Kotter) utter the F-word a couple times doesn't help things, either.

Soup for One and The Personals make for Great Double Bill3
When I think of movies that fit together, Soup for One, The Personals,Eating Raoul,Ky. Fried Movie and The Groove Tube make for a perfect fit. What do you think? While the last three are more famous and easier to find, I feel the first two should get a good look from comedy lovers who enjoy comedy about dating do's and dont's and just being single in a large city. An hour and a half well spent.
