Re: “Babe in the City

Showstopper, "I am sure Allison has seen them" is literally the nicest thing you've ever said to me. I'll be curious to hear what you think of the movie.

Re: “Babe in the City

The films mentioned by the previous comments are excellent (I am sure Allison has seen them) this on the other hand, well...Portland, a Baldwin (who lives here I think) and hipster "stereotypes"....(are they stereotypes if they are often true? )? Sounds lame, but I will see it if only to confirm it is exactly what it sounds like it is. An easy portrayal of a culture of parody without intent?

Re: “Babe in the City

Drugstore Cowboy also has some great shots of mid 80 s Portland. Or, you can watch the first 3 seasons of COPS, which were all shot in Portland/SW Washington

Re: “Babe in the City

"...the cityscapes and landmarks the prettiest onscreen representation of our city outside of Portlandia's opening credits."

wow, the author of this review really needs to see some more movies. maybe start with one called "My Own Private Idaho."
