A Little Italian Vacation

Without Schmae (Jude Schedden) this would be a barely noticeable movie. Good acting and likeable (albeit annoying) characters all around, but the little guy steals the show. Unfortunately the plot is a letdown and the ending is just... meh.

Very funny and beautifully filmed! The locations are stunning and it's a perfect film for a date night.

Where to go when you are on vacation .. actually when you are there with the person you are supposedly in love with ... but neither she nor you know for sure? Well at least you'll have the views to talk about ... not just the topical ones, but also the local ones ... I am talking about other human beings and I am using them for a joke. Forgive the puns if you can.

But believe me, the movie does not deserve better jokes - quality or other-wise. You may even think that my joke was too good for the movie at hand. There is definitely way more talking than you may be able to withstand. But the beautiful people do their best ... to help you enjoy what is being served.

I guess Amazon decided not to weight reviews over two second ratings. If 33 reviews were used it would be higher than 8. Realistically the movie isn't that epic, but it has some strange edgey moments, but the part that stands out the most is how pretty the movie is. It's shot on some very nice digital, and it appears around Terracina and Rome's surrounding areas. There are a lot of elements thrown in, probably more tight shots than are needed, as well as short one andtwo second sequences, that are personally way too much for me.

The actors are good and mainly new. Everyone who worked on this movie should be very proud. Had the story involved no sparse narrator or last line, no fourth wall break, with more character and complex story development, it's likely to have been more on the epic side.

Visually and auditorily it takes chances, story wise it would have made a short story of interest.

The movie is very good looking.

A few funny scenes, but the writing was inconsistent. I liked the young actors, they have potential. It was obviously full of British actors, don't know why some used American accents. If only it had a better script.
