Two guys with different sets of problems find themselves bonding through unexpected circumstances in this independent comedy drama from writer and director Edward Burns. Jack Stanton (Edward Burns) is a former New York City cop who has been trying to establish a new career as a private detective, though his level of success is best indicated by the fact his landlord is about to evict him for not paying the rent. Jack finally lands a paying client when he's referred to Abe Fiannico (David Krumholtz), a high-school baseball coach whose wife, Kitty, has disappeared. The only clue Abe has to her whereabouts is a recent newspaper photo that shows a washed-up rock star hanging out with several women, one of whom is a dead ringer for Kitty. Jack sets out to scour the Big Apple in search of Kitty, and Abe tags along; a friendship grows between the two men, and Jack begins to wonder why regular-guy Abe ever got mixed up with a woman who doesn't seem to have much use for him. Also featuring Rachel Dratch and Chris Parnell, Looking for Kitty premiered at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This is my first Ed Burns indie and I loved it. With no money for razzle-dazzle, they just focus on the guy relationship, and they are both wonderful. Krumholtz is a revelation. Burns' commentary, though geared toward the novice filmaker, is interesting, informative and entertaining.

    Being an Edward Burns fan I watched it and was a bit dissapointed. However Burns character along with "coach" had some good lines throughout the film to keep me interested and kept the comedy light. Also some interesting scenes and insights in NYC.

    I rented this movie on a whim, because I was a big fan of Brothers McMullen when it came out, enjoyed She's the One, and was really taken by No Looking Back... there was a vibe to these movies, a sort of reality and wit to the dialogue, that I really enjoyed. I guess the fact that Sidewalks of New York did nothing for me should have been a sign, but I didn't even know about this movie until it came up in a search for The Groomsmen (which I still haven't seen), so I rolled the dice... didn't even make it to the end. There was just nothing to grab you in this movie. All the actors have been great in other things... but there's just something lacking in this movie. It's got the feel that these actors know each other and were bored, so threw it together over a couple of days. That may actually be what happened here... I just can't recommend it. If you like Burns' work, go back to his earlier stuff.
