To Rome With Love - 2012 - 5/10
Woody Allen film is homage to classic Italian cinema.
All star cast includes Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg, Roberto Benigni, as well Allen regulars and many Italian stars I did not recognize.
Multiple storylines, none of them interacting with each other. Film felt more like a series of sit-com moments.
Postcard photography of Rome.
Typical of later Allen, hit and miss, heavily on the miss. Unsympathetic characters do not help.
Note: I am not a major fan of Italian cinema, though you can tell Allen is. He tries hard, perhaps too hard.
