The film's release was delayed by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, but its observant perception of romance remains timelessly unaffected by the tragedy that struck New York after filming completed. As he did with The Brothers McMullen, Burns creates authentic characters who are likable despite their self-centered neediness and tenuous, often ill-fated connections. Even as Burns's focus on sex and fidelity grows redundant, he works wonders with his clutch of amorous New Yorkers, including a philandering husband (Stanley Tucci) whose affair with a young waitress (Brittany Murphy) leads his wife (Heather Graham) to consider romance with a real-estate client (Burns) who's been seeing the ex-wife (Rosario Dawson) of an aspiring musician (David Krumholtz) who in turn loves the waitress. Messy or neat, these liaisons have a charming appeal that lovers and would-be lovers will readily appreciate. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not greatI didn't like this movie very much. Most of the acting was fine, but the characters weren't very likable on the whole. I watched this with my teen-aged daughter and cringed at the over-the-top discussions of sex--how many partners each character had had (one claimed over 500) and at what age they first had sex. (The movie opens with each character discussing the number of partners.) And we have yet another movie relying on footage shot in New York to seem cosmopolitan or hip or something. Was it ... Read More Rating: - You have the look of the new millennium.I hate Ed Burns. I think Rosario Dawson could go back to acting school. I have always felt a nervous twitch come on whenever Brittany Murphy speaks (like fingernails on a chalkboard). Then, alas, Heather Graham is only worth watching when directed by either PT Anderson or by early David Lynch. So, with a line up like this, I thought this would be a simple, and rather disappointing, film to view. I couldn't have been more wrong. Sidewalks of New York captured my attention with its unique storytelling ... Read More Rating:  - ExcitingEntertaining romantic comedy with Edward Burns, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and others. Six New York people looking for the (n)e(u)rotic kick. Trials and tribulations in big town love life. Rating: - Like Your Favorite Sweater- Funny, Warm and Fits Just RightEd Burns scored a home-run in this movie. If I didn't know better, I'd have sworn it was a Woody Allen film, it had that same combination of funny, warm, honest, dry, slice-of-life humor. All the characters were believeable, realistic and perfectly cast. Stanley Tucci was perfect as the pathological philandering husband to Heather Graham, who played up the 'highstrung-ness that is characteristic of Allen's leading ladies (Farrow, Keaton)to a 'T'. Meanwhile, Brittany Murphy was admirable as the ... Read More Rating: - Not Burns' best work, but nicely done.It's amazing how many people will trash Edward Burns' films -- but still watch every Ed Burns film. Um, if you don't like a director/actor/writer, maybe pick something else? (I mean, I don't care for Celine Dion, so I don't listen to her music. Make some choices, folks.) This is a talky, quirky film that follows six interconnected characters who live in New York. We get Burns as a disillusioned TV producer, Stanley Tucci as a cheating dentist, Rosario Dawson as a cautious schoolteacher, Heather Graham as ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
