New movie list To Rome with Love To Rome with Love is a kaleidoscopic comedy movie set in one of the world's most enchanting cities. The film brings us into contact with a well-known American architect reliving his youth; an average middle-class Roman who suddenly finds himself Rome's biggest celebrity; a young provincial couple drawn into separate romantic encounters; and an American opera director endeavoring to put a singing mortician on stage. -- (C) Sony Pictures Classics R Release Date To Rome with Love Jun 22, 2012 Limited | |

Review For To Rome with Love |
Once upon a time, calling a movie "lesser Woody Allen" might be considered a slap in the face. Now, it's more-or-less expected. James Berardinelli-ReelViews
Allen's story moves along quite wonderfully, primarily because of his nuanced casting. Ricardo Baca-Denver Post
Most of the characters are archetypes, yet Allen treats them with genuine affection and avoids the bitterness that's marred much of his recent work. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader
It's minor Woody, but it's still Woody. Tom Long-Detroit News
Not great, but not grating. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
Alas, it's a love letter written on the fly, with brushstroke characters working their way through a cluster of sketchy, disconnected plotlines. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
I liked it - but I can see why some won't. Steve Newall-Flicks.co.nz
There are four "stories", linked by the fact that they all take place in Rome. None of them are funny, interesting or in the slightest way connected to how real people exist. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
These roughly connected comic sketches don't really add up to a whole movie, but there are enough laughs here and there to keep the film afloat. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
Allen's Roman sojourn results in little more than a series of fanciful vignettes, occasionally insightful and not without the odd chuckle, but mostly just rather silly and inconsequential. Simon Foster-sbs.com.au
After the surprise triumph of Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen returns with another charmer set in a foreign city... At 76, he's clearly at the top of his game. Jim Schembri-3AW
The laughs feel familiar, the characters feel like caricatures and Woody Allen seems to be on autopilot. Colin Fraser-FILMINK (Australia)
Woody Allen's sudsy ode to Rome, while joyful and amusing, rings hollow. Dale Rolfe-MovieFIX
The vacuous dialogue in Allen's screenplay is exceptionally clunky. What he envisages as cheeky comes off as creaky. Leigh Paatsch-Herald Sun (Australia)
He can't get away with what he got away with 50 years ago and that's the thing. His timing is off. He's not funny. He used to be achingly funny and beautiful. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia)
It's not a bad film, but TO ROME WITH LOVE is very minor Woody Allen. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia)
A good-looking, familiar Woody romp. Graham Young-Birmingham Post
It's a movie of moments - some great, some good, some flat out bad - just as his Allen's career has been made up of moments too. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
A largely forgettable letdown that could have, should have been a contender. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age
To Rome With Love invites comparisons with Midnight in Paris - to the former's detriment. Opening and closing with Volare, one of the corniest in the Italian pop song repertoire, Allen wears the corny badge with pride throughout Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
There a frenzy of activity with abundant characters, fast one liners, amusing moments and clever ideas in Woody Allen's love letter to Rome, although after the finesse of Midnight in Paris, it seems rather trivial Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
To Rome With Love is a triumphant examination of life and love's many splendors, spilt out on the streets on Rome at their wickedly absurd and poignantly profound moments... Elias Savada-Film Threat
If you turned on the lights at the end of To Rome With Love, all you would see is the face of a film critic, overcome with a frustrating sense of unfulfillment. Stefan Pape-HeyUGuys
Anyway, I greatly enjoyed this film. Philip French-Observer [UK]
To Rome With Love finds Woody Allen on autopilot, and not a particularly fine-tuned autopilot either. It's always good to see what Allen has in store, but this outing is disappointing and exhausting. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered
You would need a heart of anthracite (or an address in Lazio) to sit through To Rome With Love without emitting a snigger. Donald Clarke-Irish Times
