AV Club

A glossy, toothless idealization of older teenage awakening made for younger, less discerning adolescent audiences that, even within that stipulated realm, falls considerably short.

Rated: C-

The conscious callowness is agreeable, but it lacks freshness, like a midnight pasta reheated in the microwave.

You're better off eating some gelato than watching this movie. At least you'll get more enjoyment from that.

Rated: 3/10

There’s a smallish deal made in Love and Gelato about the secret ingredient of Lorenzo’s gelato. If it ain’t in the title of the movie, I’ll eat my shoe. Or worse, I’ll watch it again.

If you’ve been swarmed with TikToks or posts of your friends on envious foreign vacations, Love & Gelato is a great way to microdose on Europe. If you’re looking for a unique story, well, maybe go watch something else.

Rated: 2.5/5

Eu achei bem bacana. É um romance adolescente, estilo que realmente não me atrai. O que me atraiu foram as incontáveis cenas pela Itália (quase no filme inteiro) que são de tirar o fôlego, e o fato de que há uma história no pano de fundo por trás do romance da garota protagonista, e esta história foi mostrada de forma muito bonita. Enfim, apesar das baixas notas, eu - já com 42 dos anos de idade e bem longe de romances adolescentes - gostei. P.S.: a relação adolescente é mostrada - o que forma a história do romance principal, porém sempre com a interação de adultos ao redor, o que forma algo mais profundo, sutil e muito bonito; e é essa colaboração da garota com os adultos ao lado que na verdade forma o motivo da viagem da protagonista nos primeiros minutos da trama à Itália. (não é spoiler)

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

it's really bad, it doesn't respect the original book plot and it's nothing accurate about italian culture

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." - Pretty much me with these ridiculous Netflix romantic comedies. This movie was a horrendous mess. Awful F-list casting, tasked with bringing some small amount of light to a bland and lifeless script filled with completely predictable turns that have been done a million times before.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
