Ben D Although it’s the weakest of the Allen-European trio — Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris — To Rome With Love is fun comic fare with surrealism and with the “Eternal City” as a golden backdrop. There are four concurrent storylines that never intertwine, but all take place in Rome. John’s (Alec Baldwin), Hayley’s (Alison Pill), and Leopoldo’s (Roberto Benigni) stories are all interesting and fun, the fourth, Antonio’s (Alessandro Tiberi) is a weak link and a beaten-to-death, elongated trope of “Don’t let Dad see the dent in the car”. I hate this trope. It is this episode of Friends (“The One with Two Parties”), which incorporates the same concept that made me stop watching the series entirely. It is not funny and only exists to show Italians who are better off not staying in Rome. Although the “Can only sing opera in the shower” (Hayley’s) idea feels like it was stolen from The Simpsons ep, “The Homer of Seville” (2007) — wherein Homer can only sing opera from a supine position — it is well-crafted (if not a little rushed), nice to listen to and watch, and very funny. Hayley’s story is the only one that features Allen as an actor and the scene where he shakes Giancarlo’s (Fabio Armillato) hand — who is a mortician — only for the Italian to excuse himself so he can “wash up”, is a laugh-out-loud funny moment. This movie gets a bad rap and definitely does not deserve the terrible RT (47/40) score. If Woody simply cut Antonio’s story and beefed up the other three, this would be a much more highly regarded movie.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is without a doubt the worst film I’ve ever seen. The disparate story lines are far fetched and just downright annoying. The writing is horrendous and some really good actors are made to look like primary school theater kids without any experience. I honestly can’t believe this film went to market. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/22 Full Review isla s I enjoyed this film, both for the pretty setting/cinematography and the characters. Its a typically quirky Woody Allen film featuring gentle comedy and a certain amount of, as I say quirkiness or perhaps zaniness may also be an applicable term. Its not the most memorable film around ever or anything like that but the characters are interesting and its a pleasant watch - a little saucy at times, hence the 12 rating but there's nothing especially graphic shown and for a film of this type, its quite good. I'd recommend this film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfunny and unromantic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eww!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting is decent and it has some nice cinematography of Rome but I’m not much of a woody Allen fan this is one of his weaker films. The movie is a total snoozer. It’s very slow moving and not much plot. It’s not an entertaining film it’s not very funny or exciting just kind of there.
