The sponsorship of noted filmmaker Martin Scorsese helped the novice filmmakers making this film get it produced and receive mainstream distribution. In addition, it features a vast number of appearances by well-known performers, who took an interest in the project, taking union minimum pay. In the story, Jake (Eric Stoltz) has grown up in a wonderfully neurotic household. It is just as well that he has developed a fondness for drama, as this material is excellent fodder for his playwriting. He has spent a lot of time collaborating with his friend Chris (Ralph Macchio) writing plays, and eventually is given his chance to prove his stuff in New York City. There, he discovers that Chris wants to be more than just a friend, and an important stage actress (Kathleen Turner) also has the hots for him. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Dan Algrant's sophisticated romantic comedy Naked in New York arrives on DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This is a bare-bones release from Fine Line and probably the best DVD release this little-seen film will ever get. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
