Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Fleur
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

With this movie Woody Allen made one of his dreams come true of make a film in Rome, emulating to some of his idols as Fellini or Rosselini, having as a final result a very Italian movie .When the Italian producers proposed Allen to make a movie that takes place in Rome, the American director using some notes and with the help of his friend Martin Solibakke developed a really messy script that tells 4 different stories (2 in Italian and 2 in English) with the only connection between them that all of them takes place in Rome.As a result the film is a bit messy having some stories that doesn't really fit with the rest of the movie , for example the story starred by Roberto Benigni is really out of place with the rest, but although of that, the film in terms of quality is pretty good and never falls in boredom , keeping you interested in all the stories until the very end and having that magical charming that Allen always is able to put in his films ...

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

This would be one of the worst films ever for a comedy, there was a couple of funny things but other than that it was a really terrible film. I have liked a lot of Woody Allen films but not this one. It was written and directed by Woody Allen and it seems like he was desperate for him to have a part in a film. I liked the start of the film with the policeman directing traffic explaining what he sees of the people and tourists in Rome and the idea of the stories about those people but one of the story lines just didn't make sense and the other were just silly. I am so glad and didn't spend the money going to the cinema to see this film and it is bad enough I wasted money on hiring it.

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.
