Daily Telegraph (UK) Rated: 2/5 Nov 13, 2005 Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile The filmmakers go to great lengths to create a sense of authenticity, to a fault. We are left to assume a lot about who is what and where they fit in Oct 7, 2012 Full Review Louise Keller Urban Cinefile Excels in its moody portrayals and intrigue, although confusion with plot points occasionally distracts Oct 7, 2012 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Rated: 1/5 Jun 4, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a pleasant little romantic comedy... Rated: 3/4 Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com You won't find a much bigger Keitel fan than me, but not even the actor's patented brand of wide-eyed lunacy can save this one.

Audience Member One of the worst movies I have ever seen, full of cliches. Harvey Keitel is probably ashamed that he acted in this movie. Rural Italy is not all in Tuscany and Italian people do NOT live the way that the Director would like you to believe. From 1 to 10 I give it a 0.5. Appalling. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie, filmed in a stunningly beautiful small town in Italy, should have been much better. The plot was interesting but the execution was weakened by the use of melodramatic flares which became increasingly ridiculous as the movie progressed, weak acting by Joshua Jackson and overly flamboyant acting by Harvey Keitel. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow but with a sweet message! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member it had the pieces. but it was put together very poorly. still had some charm though. that was mostly keitel. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleasant but ordinary. Beautiful scenery. Good cast fails to elevate this movie beyond its predictable limitations. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Harvey Keitel makes this movie! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
