Tonight, I had the opportunity to attend the world premier of Little Manhattan. I had never been to a world premiere of a movie before, but now that I live in New York City, I guess I have to do these things. And to make things even better, the premiere was in the midddle of Central Park.





The movie is a simple love story between a young 10-year-old boy and his friend in the heart of New York City. Here is the short summery from Yahoo Movies:

"New York City is the most romantic place in the world - even if you're
only 10 years old and falling in love for the first time. That's what
young Gabe discovers as he pursues the object of his affections, his
classmate Rosemary, in LITTLE MANHATTAN. The romantic comedy is about
life, love and the Big Apple, as seen through the eyes of a
fifth-grader."

The cast a production team was there for the premiere including Bradley
Whitford (of West Wing fame) and Cynthia Nixon (from Sex in the City). It was a great experience and a great movie, and very clean. It is defintely a movie to see with the family or a girlfriend (definitely not good for a guys not out). And, what makes it worthwhile is the fact that it is not a cheezy kids movie... it is a true, down-to-earth young love story that brings back memories of that crush in elementary school.

It was fun to see scenes from the movie set around 72nd Street, a block from where I work. There was also many scenes from Central Park, and we were right there. Awesome. I love this city.

I give this movie two thumbs up and a recommendation if you enjoy "cute" movies. It hits theaters September 30th.
