Perhaps knowing New York better than I do would have helped, but I did not
think this a particularly funny film, not eliciting more than a few chuckles
from me.  I don't think many other people in the audience thought it very
funny either (I saw it in northern Mass.), as I don't ever remember hearing 
anyone else giving much more than a chuckle either.  I, and several others 
I know, were disappointed by this film which has been given such high marks 
for comedy.  It was amusing, it was original, I enjoyed it, but it just 
wasn't all that funny.  About a +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.
