CGiii Comment

With a cameo from Quentin Crisp and a whole host of known names - this tale of unrequited gay love makes an impression.

Enjoyable - apart from the ever-whining Stoltz character who  - brazenly - shows off his ginger minge without shame.

Worth watching.

The(ir) Blurb...

Naked in New York begins in the car of grown up Jake, he is talking to us about his girlfriend, Joanne, (watch for the facial expressions) and to whom you can turn to for help while facing life ('your parents, nyaa, I don't think so'). From there it flashes back to his memories of his parents, college, house across from a squirrel infested peanut factory, best friend, writing career and Joanne.
