www.filmthreat.com - : Here the ageless Richard Gere plays Will Keane, a swinging bachelor and celebrity restaurateur and big brown eyes Winona Ryder plays Charlotte, the sweet 22-year-old dumpling who catches his 48-year-old eye. He's old enough to be her father but that doesn't stop him from putting on his old dog moves. After some sweet ''Pretty Woman'' romancing it comes out that she's got a bad ticker and not long to live; and that he used to date her now deceased mother and has an illegitimate daughter lurking in the shadows. But their problems really take off when he's caught on the tail end of an indiscretion - right in the middle of a party and as she's reading children to sleep. Can they find love before she parts? Can he redeem himself? more...

www.eonline.com - : Jerry Springer, we have a story for you. It's essentially Love Story, but with very little love and too many tabloidish spins. The odd, dry Autumn in New York features Winona Ryder as the sweet 22-year-old dumpling who catches the eye of 48-year-old swinging bachelor and celebrity restaurateur Richard Gere. No problem--we're adults here, we can handle that. She's got a bad ticker and not long to live. Okay. He used to date her now deceased mother, and his illegitimate daughter lurks closely in the shadows. What? But their problems really take off when he's caught on the tail end of an indiscretion. Uh-oh. Gere and Ryder look great, but with sparkless chemistry, and Gere spending his screen time making sad excuses for his misguided heart, this one's colder than, well, a winter in New York. Oh, and Jerry, make sure that bald security guy is working when these two come in. more...
