Trivia:

Roberto Benigni's first appearance in a wide American release since Pinocchio (2002), and only his second since his Academy Award winning performance in Life Is Beautiful (1997). It is his first appearance in an American produced and directed film since Son of the Pink Panther (1993).

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Roberto Benigni is described at the beginning as a "typical middle class Roman" but throughout the movie he acts with his notorious Florence accent - much different from a Roman's.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Traffic Policeman:Sorry, I don't speak English very well. I'm from Roma. My job, as you can see, is to see that the traffic move. I stand up here, an I see everything. All people. I see life. In this city, all is a story.

Soundtrack:

Arrivederci Roma

funny, free and imaginative but doesn't amount to much

Throughout his career, Woody Allen has managed to portray the details of human relationships of almost any kind, combined with a sense of dry humor, intellectual references with a personal touch.. going through 4 uneven, unrelated stories placed in the beautiful city of Rome, Woody Allen, the master of repartee (how awesome it is to see him still able to deadpan a line like none other), manages to create an intelligent film, plunging his characters into a world of art and knowledge. under the seal of comedy, Allen brings up the absurdity and silliness of love, relationships, adultery and fame. and despite the weakness of the two stories starring Roberto Benigni and Penelope Cruz, Woody Allen cleverly plays on the perception of roles. however, the lack of cohesion in the stories and the themes prevent the viewer from being hooked, and they ultimately feel like snippets of stories which Allen has already told in previous movies. also, Rome here could be anywhere else; Allen failed to capture the essence of the place, nor the best-case scenario as he did with Paris, London and Barcelona, let alone the odes he has devoted to New York.. It remains true that To Rome with Love is a funny, free and imaginative movie but, like Benigni's character's fame, it's only fleeting and doesn't amount to much
