Sweetie and I went to see “To Rome with Love” the new movie by Woody Allen. It is a complicated, ensemble comedy that has several pretty much disconnected stories set in Rome. The movie ranges pretty wide and uses a medley of American and Italian characters to cover romance, infatuation, mistaken identity, the natures of celebrity, innocence, Pagliacci in the shower, and reconnecting with the past. He also takes a subtle swipe at those of us in love with social networking.
Woodey Allen plays his typical neurotic character (and does it well), Alec Baldwin does a great job, but Penelope Cruz portraying a hooker sent to the wrong room really steals the show. She is smart, sassy, and of course very beautiful.
I loved this movie. I think it sparkles. If you like Woody Allen movies, then you will probably like this one, if you don’t like Woody Allen movies then I don’t think this will be the one that changes your mind.
I give it four stars out of five.
I have never been a Woody Allen fan but this movie looked kind of good. Probably won’t go see it though.
I’m not a huge Alec Baldwin fan, but I think this movie looks great. thanks for the review!
Interesting review. I loved Woody Allen’s early movies but I haven’t seen his newer ones. This one sounds like fun.
It sounds like a great movie. Thanks for the review. I think I might have to go see it!
This is definitely one for me to see, albeit wating for the dvd. I’m a realy Woody Allen fan (plus all the other stars) so I look forward to when I can view it.
LOVE Woody’s stuff. All of it. Elenka says she’s embarrassed watch one of his with me. She claims I laugh in all the wrong parts. I just see so much!
