Product Description
From Amazon.com
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 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

Little City is a Big Film!,
By
This review is from: Little City (Widescreen) (DVD)
A wonderful ensemble cast give this movie someone for everyone to enjoy watching. The beautiful Joanna Going, Penelope Ann Miller,Annabella Sciorra, and JoBeth Williams all are superb. With some adult themes and content this movie is probably not suitable for young children, but, there is nothing that can be considered dirty in the movie. The male stars are Josh Charles and Jon Bob Jovi of Rock & Roll fame. Sort of a modern "St. Elmos Fire" type of movie.

Better than "Chasing Amy",
By "peterdao" (Springfield, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Little City (Widescreen) (DVD)
If you liked "Chasing Amy" but were not totally satisfied with it in some way or another, you might find "Little City" better in many ways. I did. I tend to easily fall for comedies with witty, sarcastic lines, and plots that don't strain themselves in a silly way to happy endings. So this movie really got me. The script, while not offering quite unpredictable twists and turns, was beautifully written and brought to life by a strong cast: Annabelle Sciorra, Penelope Ann Miller, Joanna Going, JoBeth Williams, Josh Charles and Jon Bon Jovi (speaking of this guy, you got to see him in "Moonlight and Valentino" too -- he's awesome). One thing that surprised me was that IMDB didn't list any "memorable quote" from this film, as there's quite a lot that'd make you burst out laughing every 5 minutes or so. Apart from the mysterious acronym "O.G.T." (as later explained by Adam), I particularly enjoyed this dialogue: (Kate) "Every relationship gets a bit domestic after a certain point, we could have worked on it". (Anne) "We shouldn't have to work on it. It isn't a crossword puzzle. It's passion. And quite frankly, we ran out of it"... Okay, I better not give away more. Your turn to find it all out.

Relationships,
By
This review is from: Little City (VHS Tape)
Definitely a relationship movie!! This movie is about a group of single adults who each have their own relationship issues and sexual preferences. This movie is about how they deal with these, work through them and accept them via mistakes, counseling/therapy/confession etc. The setting is the small community of San Francisco where it seems everyone knows everyone and therefore secrets and rumors get around quickly.This is the first movie I have seen Jon Bon Jovi in and I was impressed. He actually can act! I thought the movie started out slow, but as it progressed and all the characters were introduced it started to get very interesting and I was curious to watch it all unfold and I wondered who was going to end up with who at the end of the movie! As always Annabella Scioria is great,pretty and believable. "Little City" is worth watching, just don't expect it to be thrilling, greatly suspenseful or a tear jerker. I doubt it will stir up too much emotion, but all in all it is a good movie.
