Joseph Gordon-Levitt's make-up and acting reveals the heart of this film - conveyed as charming, executed as cheap imitation. It's nothing but a shitty CGI tribute to NYC. It may warm the hearts of those in love with the Big Apple, but for anyone else who's not biased by love of the city or love of the director, this movie is a pure waste of time, money, talent, and heart. The characters have no depth. Even the lead, who tries to have some personal struggles, ultimately does nothing but smile and act like the American stereotype of a Frenchman. The whole movie hangs on the "walk" but by that time, who gives a shit? We don't care about the people or the story because it has very little conflict or tension to connect it to reality. Too bad he didn't fall. Would've made for a better ending.
Don't watch it.
