When Rome is the place we're talking about, tales are bound to be plenty, both of those living there, as well as those travelling out there.
When Rome is the place we're talking about, tales are bound to be plenty, both of those living there, as well as those travelling out there.
Now here is a movie from none other than the maker of the all-time favourite Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen. He not only directs To Rome with Love; he also happens to be the man behind the script (Woody Allen is the writer too)... and he also stars in this movie. And disappoint he does not at least when it comes to his performance. In fact, To Rome with Love scores purely for the huge star cast, and then for the performances put forth by the same cast.
The four sub-plots involve 1) a young small-town Italian couple who arrive in Rome right after their marriage. The duo manages to give you an ample dose of adult humour. Special mention: Penelope Cruz who not only looks her glam self, but has the whole of Rome wanting more of Anna (read her). 2) Then there is a retired opera director (Woody Allen) and his wife (Judy Davis) who visit Rome to meet their future son-in-law... and eventually end up talent hunting. Now this is the couple that gives you maximum food for thought... and laughter. 3) Next is a famous architect (Alec Baldwin) who travels down memory lane, literally, courtesy a young architecture student (Jesse Eisenberg) living in Rome, 4) followed by an ordinary citizen of Rome (Roberto Benigni) who one fine morning finds himself as part of the creme de la creme.
Unfortunately, it is the script -- too many characters, too many sub plots, too many unexplained fundas/stories -- that leaves you rather disappointed. That's when you realise To Rome with Love is no Woody Allen's Oscar-winning (Midnight in Paris, Manhattan or Hannah and her sisters) effort... an effort wherein he managed to transform NYC and Paris into fairy land... where dreams came true....

I personally liked the movie a lot. It is funny but has a lot of depth if u analyse carefully and gives u insight into real life human characters. All the characters live out their fantasies. They are thrown out of their comfort zones but return back to their real lives. They all psychologically grow in this journey and confront their dark side and come out richer.

Nice simple movie with a flavor of comedy, mischief and plain human emotions. An individual's effort to continue sane in life is nicely picturised in the movie! Woody Allen is a crzy guy! Love what he writes!

To rome with love Beauty in cinema that is rome with love,how romantic movie is made to be learnt by director woody allen .Excellent cinematography,four different story of four couple,also have hidden message for sucess and failure,woody allen as role of father done god job,he will be nominated in oscar for this role,must wat if you like romantic comedy movie.Dialogue life is cruel and unsatisfying to both rich and poor still its better to be on rich side .forgot to mention penelope cruz,could not see her acting as she mesmerizes the audience

Mr Obrien doesn't seem to know that Woody Allen has been making movies for god knows how many years and most of his movies are written by him and he also stars in most of them and I agree with most of the comments.. . You need to do some research and join the Film Appreciaton Course that used to be offered once upon a time by Film Archives in Pune. May be then you'll have some class( after taking the class!!!!)

This movie is for the people who can name five Woody's movie without searching on Google. Any Indians who have enjoyed movies like Housefull, Bol Bacchan, Kya koll hain hum etc etc, should strictly stay away from this. The most important, the review you read above has got nothing to do with movie but if you are die hard fan off some off beat movie than go for it or just ignore it, as simple as that.
