initial expectations |
(2) Well, I've seen Love Story. And Dying Young. And Untamed Heart. So how was Autumn in New York going to be different? |
(2) I'm not into the romantic stories really. And the trailers were rather boring. |
pace |
(3) Some parts were slow, even the climax. |
(3) Average pacing for an average romantic story. |
plot/story |
(3) It was alright. For the sentimental, you might find yourself willing the movie to drag on so you could witness more of Gere and Ryder's lovey-dovin'. |
(3) The story follows the usual lines of a romantic story. Again, average. |
cast/acting |
(4) Well, Gere and Ryder played their heavy roles to a tee. They made me cry a couple times. |
(4) Gere was smooth as the smooth talking womanizer. Ryder was simply alive with her acting abilities. Together, they had great on-screen chemistry that sizzled. |
good stuff |
(3) Lotsa emotion and vibrant fall colours. A couple of sensual scenes that look more like poetry in motion than kinky action. |
(2) Guys can learn from the sexy smooth charismatic pick-up lines that Gere's character delivered. Plus a stupid and pointless sex scene that was not at all sensual. |
overall |
(3) It's a touching love story, no matter how predictable. It's not a must-see, but a you'll-feel-good-after-you-see it type of movie. |
(3) Not that bad, and not that good. Just another average romantic story. Good for a date flick. |
