Just perfect...

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It seems this movie gets watched either because of Jon Bon Jovi or in spite of him. I'm one of the latter - it was on TV right after my supper and i said ok, now i'll watch this movie even if JBJ is starring... i must say that my prejudice wasn't based on his acting, as i never watched him act - it's more that i find his music trash. But he turned out quite a ok actor. But even better was the movie overall - a smart relationships- and looking-for-love story with a nice plot revolving around 5-and-a-half characters and taking sharp turns every 10 minutes, with (almost) everything happening at wrong times. I did find the style of some of the main characters' various confessions slightly over-styled for the confidant at hand, but i did like the idea of every character having his own way of analysing him/herself aloud (confession booth, support-group, taxi-dispatcher, shrink, diary); but i also didn't mind the glitch in light of the rest of this witty, funny, honest, warm movie. I especially liked the acts of Josh Charles and Annabella Sciorra.

I admit, I picked this up because I wanted a little Bon Jovi eye-candy, and didn't *really* expect the movie to be any good, but then I saw it had Josh Charles and Annabella Sciorra in it, and I think then I expected a little too much of it. Like a plot that *made sense.*It wasn't so much the overall theme of the movie that I disagreed with as it was the fact that the characters themselves were pretty shoddy. By this I don't mean that they were caricatures (though many were, particularly Bon Jovi's Kevin), but rather that the characters did not even make decisions consistent with how they supposedly acted and thought. The ending, particularly for Kevin and Nina, left me feeling as though miles of film that explained *how* and *why* these things were happening had been left on the cutting room floor.The acting was all right, and some of the dialogue was downright witty, but none of it was good enough to rescue a character-driven movie with flat characters and poor characterization.

It was the front cover of the video that did it for me.I LOVE jon bon jovi (as everyone should) so when my mate (who works in a video shop) say to me "hey i have a sample of little city, do u wanna check it out and see if its worth getting?" my reply was of course the usual dribble followed by a rapid head nod and sheer appretiation for my friend.If you have seen the cover you will agree that jon (and the other bloke) look fit and you pretty much get a good felling about it. SO WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY DID THE FILM BORE ME SO MUCH???? the cast are good and can all act but the story line is twisted, boring and you are left at the end thinking....."eh?" i really didnt enjoy this movie. it actually took me 2 days to watch because i hated it so much and the only thing that kept me going was Jon and the hope that he would liven it up a bit. i am sorry but to all of you that liked this film (and from the other reviews it seems like i am the only negative one)it is a big pile of utter rubbish not eben worthy of the video shop shelf! i think i have made my point clear dont you?!?!?!

I'm a big Jon Bon Jovi fan so the only reason I rented this video was because he was in it. But the movie turned out to be really good. Even if JBJ didn't have a part, I would have enjoyed it anyway. It's about the ups & downs of being single & looking for "Mr./Ms. Right" in the 90's.
