In this series of ten short films, all connected by the city of New York, a series of couples find love in some very wide and varied ways.

To say the least, this movie is very schmaltzy. The stories are primarily verbal, with the action taking a back burner to the apparently romantic words of the characters involved. Fans of movies such as Valentine’s Day and New Years Eve may find this a pleasant watch, but this is far more artsy than the over the top stories found in the films of Garry Marshall.
