if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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

Set in beautiful Italy, the story follows several people and their loves and lives. Great acting and scenery set to a gorgeous soundtrack. One of Woody Allen's best movies. I especially loved the story of the singer who could only sing in the shower. But, what a voice! I now follow him. Penelope Cruz is beautiful and magnificent as the Italian call girl whom all men know.

You would expect more from an Allen movie, but in this case, it fails completely to even be funny. Many stories are presented, with the only thing in common that they are taking place in Rome. Okay, the scenes of the city are beautiful, but the movie is a madness, with no real story, and, in the end, no real purpose. I mean, was it about the city? broken relationships? misunderstandings? paranoia? No clue. The story about the opera and the shower was kind of funny, I guess, and the one with the newlyweds cute and probably the most interesting story in the film. Now, the one with the uni students had some depth in it, and the one with the unexpected fame was rhetorical, if not crazy. But still, they didn't mingle well with each other. So 3 out of 10.

Yes, we've all seen Woody Allen films and know from the outset that they contain several intertwined stories that are distinct yet inextricably linked, and this one was no different. However, the distinction here is the element of fantasy that is involved in each of these stories, which has become increasing central to Allen's films of late, e.g., Midnight in Paris, the stories just seem so much more interesting than I seem to recall in some of his other films. Most noteworthy about this film is the score. It is so beautifully and aptly played throughout that it seems to almost be a narrator of the movie, as it gently guides the viewer from scene to scene. The fantastic score also gives the movie an extra element of rhythm both literally and figuratively in that it keeps things quite upbeat. The acting was very well done, with the exception of Ellen Page, which was not really her fault, because she was simply not well cast for her role. Overall, this movie was great! I thought it was one of Allen's best in quite some time.
