Consensus: Though well-acted, Sidewalks of New York generally comes off as a second-rate Woody Allen film. The characters seem self-absorbed, the problems trite.

Synopsis: An intricate web of relationships is examined by Ed Burns (THE BROTHERS McMULLEN, SHE'S THE ONE) in SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK.

Burns, who also wrote and produced the film, stars as Tommy Reilly, a boy from Queens turned successful Manhattanite. After being kicked out of the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, he is back in the dating scene. When he meets a divorced schoolteacher (Rosario Dawson), the connections between the additional main characters in the ensemble--played by Stanley Tucci, Heather Graham, Brittany Murphy, and David Krumholz--are identified slowly but surely: a divorced couple, an adulterous married man and his mistress, and a doubting wife. Burns' look at relationships leaves no stone unturned as the main characters and their friends discuss their love lives. Filmed throughout New York City, the characters' stories are spliced together by their own personal monologues in documentary-style scenes. Well-delivered, witty, and humorous banter that is reminiscent of the works of Woody Allen keeps the story moving, as does the shooting technique of following behind the characters with the camera. Tucci, in particular, delivers a standout performance as a two-timing, lecherous dentist. [More]

Reviews for Sidewalks of New York
The film's low-key pace and mockumentary interviews give it plenty of charm.
Surely, after everything this city has been through, the time is right for a breezy, captivating New York romantic comedy. Sidewalks of New York is not an especially good movie, but it will do.
La cinta en el global es una opción atractiva si buscan una cinta ligera y que hable de un amor posible en un grupo de caóticos seres que cohabitan en ese micro-universo
Burns’s ear for dialogue prevents it from becoming a forgotten footnote to a promising career.
My own instinct tells me that Sidewalks of New York doesn't work and doesn't go anywhere, but there are a few talented performers on display.
Pointed, upbeat, and very funny, "Sidewalks of New York" sets the standard for comedy in 2001.
As a romantic comedy on your film menu, Sidewalks of New York holds the romance and serves comedy on the side.
The film uncovers no hidden truths about relationships except one: Romantic comedies don't have to be profound when they are as appealing as this one.
Perceptive and realistic...There isn't a weak link in all six of its major performers.
Edward Burns's latest Woody Allen project (think "Sex and the City" meets Husbands and Wives, Gen-X style), carries with it the weight of 9/11.
A pretty good chick flick for chicks, which is why it might very well be a good date movie.
Edward Burns captures the uneasiness of urban men and women in romantic relationships.
There are seven million stories in New York: these are six of the funnier ones.
Despite a few easily identifiable flaws, Sidewalks of New York is a breezy, enjoyable motion picture that manages to be smart without demanding our undivided attention.
