Trivia:

Shot over a period of four months in Italy.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Charlie is talking to Sophie, after Lorenzo rides up on a brown horse, Charlie says that Lorenzo "rides in at the last moment on a white horse". No doubt, Charlie meant the line metaphorically.

Quotes:

Charlie:[trying to convince Claire to leave] It's been a long day.
Claire:All right, darling, have a nice sleep.

Per Dimenticare

Absolutely delightful film!

I saw this film at an early screening and couldn't have been more delighted. The film is charming, adorable, and sweet with many laughs to be had as well. The message of romantic love being timeless and one that can cross many generations was very well appreciated and felt. The scenery of Italy in the film is gorgeous. There are breathtaking shots that make you want to hop on a plane after the film is over and go there yourself.

It was also truly refreshing to watch a film that I don't believe contained a single cuss word or sexual innuendo. (We need more of these movies). You could see this movie with your teens or your grandmother without the slightest bit of concern about being embarrassed of what might show up on the big screen. You walked out of the theatre feeling happy and remembering your own love story -- or hoping for your own love story to come.

Don't miss this one if you get a chance to see it. You will not be disappointed.
