- Quotes
Henry Clark: Do you know what your problem is?
Mr. Mersault: No, what's my problem?
Henry Clark: You live here. You're jaded. What you need is a fresh perspective from an outsider from say Ooo-hio! Because you have forgotten just how amazing this city is. I have had more experiences in this city than many people who have lived here their whole lives. I mean, I met colorful characters. I've taken a breathtaking cab ride through Central Park. I climbed to the top of a luxury hotel. Not in the elevator, actually on the hotel. And then, I fell - in love with my wife all over again at Tavern on the Green, on the actual green itself. And - and then I had *sex* in front of the Mayor! I mean, where else can something like this happen? Only in New York!
Mr. Mersault: What did you just say?
Henry Clark: You mean the whole thing or the tag line for your new campaign, "Only In New York"? Which, incidentally, I copyrighted just before I came up here, along with the visual of the Statue of Liberty giving the high five to a family of tourists.
Bill: Oh, this guy's very good.
Henry Clark: Can I have a doughnut?

Two of my favorite comedic actors are Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin. I grew up on them. But, they just don't cut the mustard in this remake. I can't place my finger on it, but it just isn't funny. It's not just the writing, it's the actors and their direction.
I was so excited when this movie was released. Who doesn't love John Cleese? Well, I don't in this role. I did enjoy seeing a great stand-up comic, Steve Mittleman, in a cameo role in the early portion of the film. Mittleman was one of the funniest comics I remember from my childhood days.
This movie is a waste of time.
