      Sam is this movie a satire ? honestly i would recommend this movie just cause the main guys best friend chris is quite funny and charming. but i mean.. other then that it kinda sucks and i mean the ending made no sense to me and seemed rushed.. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/18/23 Full Review Steve D It really doesn't add up to much. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review william s This film tries hard but a romantic comedy without a soul is hard to watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Mary-Louise Parker was even more gorgeous when she was young Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member "Naked in New York" begins with the main character Jake (Eric Stoltz) sitting in his car, looking directly ahead and narrating as if the audience is the windshield. I liked that. The movie is essentially about a college graduate trying to make it in New York City, and keep his relationships intact at the same time. As Jake tells us in his car-scenes, his father walked out when he was a baby, he had to look after his mother. She was very emotional. "Clearly, having no men around made me sensitive to women." he says. Jake is a playwright, telling the story of his life and his attempts to become successful. His friend Chris (Ralph Macchio) describes him as an "artsy New York jew". Chris is an actor and friend of Jake's. Unlike Jake he has a pretty normal family. From the beginning it seems as if Chris might have a bit of a thing for Jake, and they explore that a bit in the movie. Poor Chris. Mary-Louise Parker plays Joanne, a girl Jake meets at college who Chris calls a "whitebread WASP". When Joanne and Jake get series, she becomes a successful photographer. In terms of the supporting cast there's Timothy Dalton as Elliot, a family friend who Joanne's mother tries to push on her. And who helps Joanne with her photography. Tony Curtis! As a producer of plays. Kathleen Turner as an actress. A pretty good cast really. So funny seeing a very young Mary Louise Parker, since I've only really seen her in Weeds. And in general I quite like Eric Stoltz. Naturally ever since "The Outsiders", I adore Ralph Macchio, the karate kid. "Naked in New York" is really just about Jake's life, his career, his relationships... It's occasionally funny. Interesting. Well-acted, well-written. A cool movie. About people. And life. Really, it isn't as boring as I'm probably making it sound. Decent 90s flick that I think is worth a watch, if you can get your hands on it.

      Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times What distinguishes Naked in New York is its confidence in its intelligence. It doesn't go for cheap shots or easy laughs, but patiently follows its hero through the labyrinth of his early career. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Rated: 2/5 Sep 27, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Though too imitative of Woody Allen's Annie Hall, Dan Algrant's feature debut is nonetheless well acted by Eric Stoltz, Mary-Louise Parker, Tony Curtis, and Kathleen Turner.
