User Reviews

My opinion as an Italian!

I feel I have to review this movie, especially because I'm Italian. This film is not worth watching for many different reasons (and I'm only stating a few):

1) It tries to be funny, but it's not.

2) It is full of clichés which have been seen in tons of Italian and foreign movies before, and besides that, the clichés have not been explored in any way.

3)There is nothing beautiful or artistic that at least justifies the fact that the movie is completely unwatchable and boring. The photography of Florence is banal and irrelevant.

4) It doesn't correspond to reality and it portrays insignificant yet excessive characters.

5) The actors are not convincing at all, and even though I like Margherita Buy in many performances, (especially in the past) I thought this role was almost burlesque.

I really wonder why someone would waste money and time to produce and direct such a useless film, and I also wonder why Margherita Buy would accept to be in this film after reading the script. Awful.
