Annabella Sciorra, JoBeth Williams, Joanna Going

Kevin (Jon Bon Jovi) is sleeping with Nina (Annabella Sciorra), who's already dating Kevin's best friend Adam (Josh Charles), who still hasn't gotten over Kate (Joanna Going), who still hasn't gotten ...( read more  read more... )over Ann (JoBeth Williams), who has her eye on Rebecca (Penelope Ann Miller), who just moved to town... and things just get more complicated from there. Writer-director Roberto Benabib wants to be for San Francisco what Woody Allen is for Manhattan, and Little City is full of gorgeous shots of the city. Though his dialogue doesn't quite have the same polish, he does have Allen's knack for sterling ensemble casts; even when the banter doesn't bounce, the actors are completely engaging. Even Miller, who's been so annoying in her earlier movies, is sweet and sympathetic. Charles in particular is superb, but everyone contributes to making this an enjoyable romantic comedy. --Bret Fetzer

    I was a slow paced, warm movie. Yes, Bon Jovi is good, but all of the other performances are the ones to praise. Penelope Ann Miller and Josh Charles shine. It's a movie about people in platonic feelings, the usual "when-i-care-for-you, you-don't-care-for-me" situation that beco...( read more)mes "now-that-i-was-accepting-it(with someone else) you-come-back". Love becoming lack of interest becoming searching someone else becoming love again.

    this movie reminds me a lot to "Melrose Place". Everyone has something with everyone. But it's quite a good movie.
