Matthew_Capitano 'SOME SPOILERS AHEAD' --- don't act like you care. Sleepy-footed poppycock about a womanizer who gets reformed by the most pathetic hat-maker in New York City.Furniture has more personality than either Bologna Ryder or Richard Steer, both of whom are neither believable or likable in this sappy date movie which, in more ways than one, copies events right out of 'Love Story' (1970), including the ice-skating and death bed scenes.Bologna shows up at Steer's doorstep looking like she just escaped from the mental ward and Steer is a slobbering mess. Both actors try way too hard to be spontaneous and charming, but the result is what you'd expect from some of the worst acting you've seen in quite awhile, not to mention a lame script. Sorry, but when Bologna croaked, I didn't give a rat's ass.The best things about this flick are some beautiful scenery, the pretty title, and the fact that as long as this bumbling movie is, you know it will finally end so you won't have to hang yourself from the big tree in the backyard. Directed by John Chung.

tieman64 "Autumn in New York" stars Richard Gere as a middle aged man who falls for the the considerably younger Charolette Fielding, played by Winona Ryder. Fielding's your typical free-spirited pixie, who just happens to be dying, a death which will teach Gere several lessons about love, loss and commitment.Whilst "Autumn" is a giant bag of clichés, Ryder's enchanting. Beautiful but fragile, and reminiscent of a young Audrey Hepburn, she single-handedly saves the film. "Autumn in New York" was the first major Hollywood film to be directed by a woman of Asian origin.7/10 - Worth one viewing.

jasonsouza77 This movie is really recommended for the broken hearted as well as the still hearted..basically those who have been or are in love..the storyline may be a little predictable..but the set locations...the casting..screenplay...they are all close to perfection.. Richard Gere..well...he's cool and suave as we remember him in Pretty Woman,but his character in this motion picture makes the viewer feel for him and not just for Charlotte(Ms Ryder's character)..and their chemistry is definitely on full reaction mode...subtle...but seriously gentle for the heart and mind.. and the song that plays when the movie fades to black and the credits roll..Jenifer Paige's Beautiful...that really describes the whole movie..it was really so beautiful..i was really shocked that Joan Chen directed this gem..she did a good if not excellent job..a MUST see for all viewers interested in the romance/drama genre..

kayper54 ...even after reading all the bad reviews, even though I intensely dislike both the main actors, even though I dislike the entire "May/December romance" genre....I simply couldn't resist the title: Aumumn in New York. Manymanymany movies that take place in New York City use the city itself as a character. And occasionally, when New York is made a character in its own right, it becomes the Best Actor (or Actress, if you're so inclined.) And that's what happened here.It makes for a wonderful song, beautiful scenery and a romantic idea, but aside from how wonderfully New York played its leading role, the story placed in it sucks.There was a lovely scene in Central Park among all those gorgeous, brilliant-yellow leaves, some poignant landscape scenes of The City In The Fog and Snow, and the tune listed as "Elegy for Charlotte" on the soundtrack is worth the entire CD.Surely, in the future, a reasonably talented movie-maker will take this wonderful title and leading character and give them both a good movie. I can't believe somebody hasn't already. I hope they do, soon; the faster I can forget this one, the better.
