Because that's the only way you're going to feel like a man again after watching this shite. I may be damaged for life. Went to see it with this chick I met online. She really wanted to see it when they showed it at the Carriage House theatre and it was our first (and only) date. A short description of why it doesn't even deserve one star: The writing is sickening... seriously so bad I laughed out loud in the theater at some of the ridiculously stupid things the characters say in this film. Imagine the most cliché "love story" lines and now imagine worse and you still won't come close to comprehending how bad it was. t was even worse than I thought it would be. I thought it would just be incredibly boring but in truth it turned my stomach. I need medicine now. Had to excuse myself to use the restroom, went in there and splashed some water on my face (from the faucet, you sicko), went to my car and drove the eff out of there. By myself. Yep, ditched that stupid slag and she had to find her own way home. Didn't feel bad cuz she didn't know my real name. That's what internet dating is all about, am I right? But I digress. SPOILERS COMING NOWThe only good thing about the movie is Charlotte (Winona's character) dies at the end. I hated that sexy pig and wish she would have died sooner. It would have been awesome if the surgery had been successful and then Richard Gere had smothered Charlotte with a pillow in the recovery room. I wish when Richard Gere's character goes home after Charlotte croaked and he found the gift box with the hat, I wish he had stomped on it and said, "YOU PIG I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE DEAD!!!" Then kicked the hat against the wall, laughed maniacally, pulled out a handgun and shot himself in the head.Anyway, Winona Ryder is a sexy little monkey. They should have made Charlotte a shoplifter.Skip this one guys, and if your wife tries to make you watch it with her, file for divorce because if you watch it you will hate her for it and you'll hate yourself even more. I'll hate you both. I swear to all the filthy gods of my fathers I wouldn't watch this film agin for a billion dollars. If a fairy godmother came down from heaven and said, "If you watch 5 minutes of this film, I'll bring back your favorite dead relatives, all your dead pets, give you a billion dollars and cure hunger," I'd punch her in the mouth.I need a whore.

Typical, predictable, seen-it-all-before story about a guy who gets involved with a terminally-ill girl.Richard Gere is supposed to be Mr. Wonderful in this "Love Story" rip-off with Winona Ryder as the sick chick. Many ideas from the latter movie are regurgitated here including the ice rink and hospital deathbed scenes.Things stay safe and sterile from the first hour of 'charming' date sequences, like the moment when a giggling Winona puts on one of the 'hats' she made (it looks like a bent-up coat hanger), all the way to the end of this Joan Chen-directed date flick when Winnie faints for the twentieth time, sparking Dick to once again exclaim another exasperated "Jeeeez!".Lame. Stick with "Love Story" (1970).

Well it's a movie about a woman dying in scorbutus (Ryder) and her guy (Gere) basically watching her die with these pathetic sad eyes, without buying any vitamin c or anything and it's not like he didn't have any drugstore around the corner. It's always better to make a tear-jerker movie about a sad couple who spend their days crying and hoping that maybe vitamin-c itself is coming to the door saying "here I am, eat me". We'll it ain't gonna happen folks. It's a story about a woman who did not eat enough vegetables. As you mama said, eat your vegetables. The result is that you live a miserable life in a luxury apartment in New York doing nothing but worrying about things that don't matter and wondering around spending your pointless life.

Autumn in New York is a romantic drama film that stars Richard Gere, Winona Ryder,Anthony LaPaglia,Elaine Stritch and Vera Farmiga.It was written by Allison Burnett.The screenplay was about a successful middle- aged restaurateur and womanizer who falls in love with a sweet young woman who is terminally ill.It was directed by Joan Chen.An man gets an unexpected lesson in love and life from a much younger woman in this romantic drama. Will Keane is a wealthy 50-year-old restaurant tycoon who has a knack for wooing beautiful women, but is unable to commit to a lasting relationship. On day Will meets a beautiful woman in her early-20s named Charlotte Fielding; he turns on the charm in an effort to impress her, and soon the two are having an affair. But what Will thought would be a brief, casual fling proves to have far deeper repercussions when he learns that Charlotte is suffering from a serious illness and does not have long to live. The movie is a clichéd,formulaic and predictable melodrama.Also,it was weak and unmemorable.Even the presence of Richard Gere and Winona Ryder could not save this film.Also,their lack of chemistry only increased the many flaws this film has.They look unrealistic being a couple due to their 20+ year age difference.The only good thing about it is it generate genuine emotions in some scenes.Nothing more.
