To Rome With Love


Movie: To Rome With Love
Genre: romantic comedy
Synopsis: Directed by Woody Allen, this movie is several smaller stories that are interwoven.  In one, Alec Baldwin is a successful, but unhappy, architect who seems to be trying to capture something from when he lived in Rome as a young man.  Another has Jesse Eisenberg and Alison Pill as a young couple with a friend (played by Alsion Pill) who comes between them.  In a third story Roberto Benigni is an office worker who wakes up one morning to discover that overnight he has become the most famous man in the world – for reasons that he never does learn.  There are one or two other story lines – and all of the stories cross at least one of the other stories somewhere along the line.

My two cents: I so loved Midnight in Paris that I was hoping for something as good.  I did not find it.  Individual performances were OK, it just never came together for me. The movie was entertaining, but nothing more.  I would probably not even bother to see this if it was on TV.
