sidewalk of new york and be and a everyone have point out and an ersatz woody allenish comedy about a group of tangled relationship in new york . the only performance i enjoy be britany murphy whose wonderful guttural voice be always a joy to hear . the movie have the typical ed burn slobby vulgarity ( lot of talk about apply cologne to one ball and not shower before date . brother mcmullen have similar talk about defecating in front of other guy . ) the movie be murkily photograph with a jittery hand hold camera that succeed in make new york look a jejune a it unbelievable character . most annoying be a long closeup of mr. burn hairy armpit . that shot seem to go on forever . i guess if you be the star and writer and director no one be gon na tell you where to put the camera and more importantly no one be gon na tell you that your character bear little resemblance to flesh and blood new yorkers . disappointing .
