Strong and Moving!
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
If you love Italian culture, and the Italian landscape this is a must own film. Marisa Tomei, Robert Downey Jr. and Bonnie Hunt give good performances as usual. The story line is not going win any awards but somehow that does not matter. The characters are warm and seem like people that we have all met before. And the scenery, ahh, is any place on earth as beautiful as Italy? Not in my opinion. Bonnie Hunt shines as Faith's sister-in-law and best friend, who takes off to Venice with her in search of her destiny, written in the stars. When they discover Damon Bradley has left the hotel he called from, the search will go from Venice to Rome, and on to the lovely Italian coast, as Norman Jewison gives us a gorgeous view of romantic Italy. Robert Downey Jr. is at his most charming as Damon Bradley, who Faith meets by chance, or perhaps fate, and falls in love with. Faith will discover, however, that destiny has a few twists and turns in store for her, in this truly delightful violin concerto to love.This film will work its magic on you if you enjoy a light romantic comedy with a 1950's feel, and will surely become one of your favorites if you are seeing it for the first time. While the actors are wonderful in their roles, it is this wild chase through Italy and the scenery that gives the movie special charm and appeal. Some places are simply more conducive to romance than others - they feed your heart and soul with beauty, love, inspiration and romance. If you believe in leaps of faith and taking chances, and in the magic of old-school romantic cinemas, then this movie is for you.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
So look, from whatever angle you take, this is crazy... taking a chance is good, jumping in is nice, but this is pure and simply stalker-ish. If a guy or girl came after any of us, in the same context, it would make us really really scared, right? Think about it! Wouldn't you have the tendency to run away, call for help, call the police? I don't know about you, but I prefer my love stories a bit more real :)The only reason I gave this movie 5 stars is for its setting in Italy, as I've seen this country and it is truly wonderful and can be a magical place.I was looking for movies about traveling, bu this is not so amazing to watch because of an unbelievably corny and not very well played scenario. I've seen both actors in other movies. It has no good lines for a real comedy and the plot is pushed way over the limits.If you want traveling movies with a better plot and some romance I give you the following names: Under the Tuscan Sun, PS I love you, A Good Year and maybe, maybe Eat, Pray, Love. Not saying these are masterpieces, but they are way better :)
I can and do watch it over and over again: no violence, brutality, dark images or ugliness; all smiles, fun and beautiful locations with beautiful people in beautiful outfits. Locations themselves are worth watching it for, not to mention the acting which is brilliant. Tomei and Dawney seem such a wonderfully matching couple, you can easily believe they are a couple in real life. Bonnie Hunt is so beautiful, so natural, so perfect for this role. Loved the whole movie from start to finish, there are no slack moments, you must watch it or loose the thread. What is more, the story line is believable - well almost, apart from bits here and there, such as you can not just change flights at moment's notice and it seems the action takes place over not just 48 hours but at least five days or more! Recommend it heartily - and wish there were more movies like this and much less the "other" kind that are full of dark scenes, killing, gore and brutality.
This movie starts with the wonderful Louis Armstrong recording of "Only You",and that,I'm afraid,is as good as it gets.It has a quite ludicrous premise - that a woman would choose to marry a man because of his name - smug performances,travelogue scenery and the patronising assumption by its producers that women will flock to see it because it portrays one of them as vain,silly,impulsive and blinkered.Not even the sight of Joe Henderson as a busker saved me from the slough of despond. Everybody involved has done much better work elsewhere,the two leads being hopelessly miscast as star - crossed lovers,because,frankly,they deserve each other.There is some lovely music on the soundtrack so I suppose one could shut one's eyes and think of any two actors who could have made a better fist of it.Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd come to mind........................................
