Watch To Rome with Love For Free

Pretty Good

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A sophisticated Carry On romp? Which may mean more to UK readers? Others outline the plot and actors etc. and this is for those who want an opinion of, if to watch it or not. I say yes, Woody's in top form here.It was all going on here at an active pace, with bedroom farce and gags coming thick and fast. Sure, it's not plausible (neither were Marx Brothers films) but that didn't matter to me, I was laughing out aloud in an empty room, which is usually a good sign of a good movie.I remember when people used to say something like "Where's the old Woody Allen, when he used to be funny?" well here he is. He's used the backdrop of Rome and his love of Italian movies to hang his usual incisive observations, absurdity and irreverence, all combined with his comedic skills as a performer and writer. There really are some great lines and visual gags. A small example: there is one scene where Roberto Benigni, catapulted into celebrity status, is caught by the papparazi (a familiar theme in films about Rome) with a pretty woman, who is not his wife, and runs off to seek refuge and runs directly into a Church Procession, which blocks his escape. A nice touch I thought. Woody Allen must have the pick of talent from where ever he wants, and he has certainly chosen wisely with a rich array of actors, all going along for the craziness. Rome is the backdrop and is looking good. If you want the finer detail about the film read others worthy reviews (I can't understand the bad ones of course), but if you want an opinion as to if you should watch, then I thought it's up there with Woody Allen's best, but may not be high art, just great fun. Go along with it and you just may enjoy the ride.

To Mr. Woody Allen: Writing, producing, directing films each year straight since 1982's "A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy" and the latest installment of Woody Allen's motion picture factory "Wonder Wheel" to be released at New York Film Festival on October 14th 2017, you show remarkable endurance to present films with a calm, filled full of life-time anecdotes, voice, attracting the most accomplished actors of our time from around mainly from the U.S. and Europe, where "To Rome With Love" just fits in as one of the minors, close-to non-sense distracting film of yours, where you only break out once in the last twenty years with the film "Match Point" (2005) by letting actress Scarlett Johansson getting killed by a shotgun attack through Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in order to be able to play a part in London's high society. Everything else leaves your relentless gift of circling around an universal world vision and subjective neurotics from "Annie Hall" (1977) to "Midnight in Paris" (2011), having actor Owen Wilson filling in to your part of the Alvy Singer in all of us again, before granting actress Cate Blanchett her well-deserved Academy Award as best leading actress by making the park's bench a world of its own in a close-up of no further explanation.Sincerely yours, Felix Alexander Dausend

To Rome With Love (2012): Dir: Woody Allen / Cast: Woody Allen, Roberto Benigni, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Jesse Eisenberg: Romantic comedy about the idea of Rome as a romantic symbol when in fact it contains every bit as many problems as any other place. Woody Allen and Judy Davis play a married couple flying to Rome to meet their daughter's fiancé. Their daughter is a journalist while her fiancé's father is a mortician whom Allen learns has a talent for singing opera. The problem is that this talent is restricted to the shower. This plays out as one of the great hilarious payoffs when Allen presents the most awkward stage plays. Roberto Benigni plays an ordinary guy who is suddenly hounded by paparazzi who ask him the most absurd details into his life. It is Allen's humorous attack on fame and its illusions. Alec Baldwin seems to be everywhere when it comes to coaching a young heart throb who is about to cheat on his girlfriend with her best friend, an aspiring actress who has just arrived in town. Penelope Cruz plays a prostitute who ends up in the wrong hotel room and mistaken as the fiancé of someone who is set to meet relatives. His real fiancé is lost within the city and loses her cell phone, but she becomes the target of romance by a famous actor and this leads to the most hysterical burglary attempt ever conspired. Jesse Eisenberg seems to be observing it all, hanging out with Baldwin enlightening each other. This is Woody Allen at his best as he presents witty dialogue, comic encounters at their most inspiring, and a view of Rome that paints a far different picture than reputed. Score: 10 / 10

To Rome With Love is a film of Woody Allen that tells a story of four separate vignettes such as: a clerk who wakes up to himself a celebrity; an architect who takes a trip back to the street wherein he lived as a student;a young couple on their honeymoon; and an Italian funeral director who possesses a singing ability that captures his soon to be in-law who happens to be an American opera director.The ensemble cast of the movie includes Woody Allen himself together with Alec Baldwin,Roberto Benigni,Penélope Cruz,Judy Davis and Jesse Eisenberg.Compared to other Woody Allen films like for example Annie Hall,this is definitely will be considered a minor one due to underdeveloped characters and plot lines.Added to that,many unrealistic events happen that is way beyond belief and it won't be enough to generate the interest of the viewers even though the stories happen in the streets of Rome and it had a strong cast in it.Finally,the plot lines also fail to become one coherent story telling that a viewer may find it somewhat boring and uninteresting at some parts of the movie.
