Alissa Wilkinson New York Times It’s a glossy fairy tale about Americans having lighthearted adventures in Europe, getting into scrapes and falling in love and charming the pants off all the locals. Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com Ultimately, “La Dolce Villa” is about as authentic an Italian experience as a night at the Olive Garden. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner Hallmarkies Podcast I really enjoyed the father/daughter dynamic and the romances were fun to watch. Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet The European adventure has a sweet and charming Hallmark-style energy that you can’t help but fall in love with. By the end, you’ll be ready to book your own Italian vacation. Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Callie Hanna FandomWire Anyone expecting anything groundbreaking or subversive from La Dolce Villa should remind themselves that this is a straight-to-streaming romantic comedy wherein the biggest name in the cast is the guy from Scandal and Scream 3. Rated: 6/10 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Despite following a now-established Netflix formula, this film still holds a few discreet attempts to diverge in the way it develops its characters and their relationships.

Joshua B Non ci sono parole per descriverlo: è semplicemente perfetto. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review B F. It’s a hallmark movie but on Netflix. Good for what you should expect Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Krista G Imagine you write three different scripts all based on cliche Italy …. then you stick it in a blender, congratulations - viola you have this movie. They clearly had many ideas and decided to do every one of them. This movie did have one thing, a loft issue… a lack of story line. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Philip C Of course the movie was predictable, but so what! It’s the journey that was very pleasant. Enjoy! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review STEVEN E We really enjoyed the movie. Scenery was beautiful. Actors were believable and fantastic. Great story & ending we hoped for Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review andrea c Altro film prodotto da Netflix che cavalca l'onda del forestiero che scopre la magia dell'Italia tra paesaggi e cucina. Nulla di originale se non la pochezza della sceneggiatura in cui ogni personaggio ha zero credibilità nella storia a cui si aggiunge una trama già di per sè molto banale. A condire il tutto ci sono dialoghi per lo più imbarazzanti e personaggi di contorno tra il bizzarro ed il cringe. Sicuramente il format con l'utilizzo di ampie inquadrature del paesaggio con tanta spinta sui colori, funziona come testimoniato dall'alto numero di film di questo tipo (proprio Netflix poco tempo prima ha prodotto "Toscana") ma la differenza tra commedia leggera e romantica e cinema spazzatura è talvolta sottile; qui il confine è superato senza indugio per un'ora e mezza di imbarazzo ed ovvietà. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
