Amy Irving is a single Jewish woman working at an upscale bookstore on the Upper West Side of New York. As much as she longs to be a part of the intellectual literary scene, she is tethered to her roots on the Lower East Side, where her old-fashioned grandmother is forever trying to fix her up. Irving has her eye on a handsome brooding author, but her grandmother enlists the help of a local matchmaker to fix her up with Peter Riegert, a quiet Jewish man who runs a pickle stand in the neighborhood. Soon she must decide what it is she really wants out of life and what love really means to her. Though a very traditional love story, Crossing Delancey has its moments of soul searching drama and an unlikely romance. --Robert Lane Average Rating:
 Rating: - Crossing Delancey-This movie is one of my "feel good" movies. As many times as I have seen it, I wanted to be able to watch it whenever I wanted to rather than waiting to see it on tv. I like the characters, especially the grandmother. What makes it especially nice, too, is how easy it is to order on Amazon.com; however, I have a suggestion. I can not always get information, like a synopsis of a movie or book, before I make my purchase. All in all, this was one purchase that I know I will always enjoy. Rating: - Crossing DelanceyCrossing Delancey has been a favorite movie of mine for some time. I needed to replace my old VHS copy. It is a very colorful love story that makes a statement on looking beyond the surface. Amy Irving plays a young Jewish woman whose bubby (grandma) hires a matchmaker for her. She has her eye on a good-looking, suave writer, but the man who wants to know her better is a pickle salesman. It's not only funny, but says alot about the importance of family and friends ...

The first time I watched it, I wanted to be Izzy--but a much better, smarter Izzy, who made much better choices about men (unlike the real me, who made choices like Izzy, of course). The characters and the New York atmosphere is great. Wardrobe, very '80s, but a lovely romance, just the same.If you are a fellow lover of bookstores or books, please ...

Don't expect the comedic heights of classics like Bringing Up Baby or Adam's Rib, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fun soundtrack. Just enjoy. Rating: - What the world needs now.............This movie has aged very well. It satisfies the uncynical need in most us to believe that love and romance can exist in every life-even that of a pickle man. Good character, true feeling, and commitment are rewarded as Sam (Peter Riegert) wins the love of Isabella (Amy Irving) with the help of Bubbie. Enjoy!! |
