Love & Gelato

This movie had an opportunity to be really good. The chemistry between the characters didn't work. It kinda just moves along at a sluggish pace and never hits the mark. There were a few parts of the movie that were funny and I watched it till the end. I would give it an average at best.

Take off glasses to turn ugly duckling to a swan - check!

Run in to a rich and handsome who is sort of a prick - check!

Run into a not rich warm heart and get tangled in love triangle - check!

People who have flashback and refuse to move on even after 20 years in the name of love - check!

A big mouthed friend who has no life of her own but to support the soggy and confused main lead - check!

A movie where none of the airline costs, airbnb costs, food costs, local expenses cost, luggage limitations, background touristy crowd, miscellaneous regular humanly things dont really apply to the main lead - check!

Finding the people by chance in trains and streets like its a coincidence - double check!!

Zero chemistry between the young leads, terrible lead actress, total snooze-fest, very forced. I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes.

An American in Italy is so cliché.

Sometimes I can't help wondering why some movies survives the script stage. It's not that i don't like a good romance flick, but unfortunately a vast majority sucks.

This one definitely does ! The characters are totally one dimensional and none of the actors seem to bother fleshing them out. Every twist and turn of the plot can be seen coming from miles away, and the most we get from this movie is some nice pictures of Rome, and that Italians are insane drivers.

We get some alleged love triangle between a smart rich guy and a nice not so rich guy, and there's some kind of mystery regarding who her father was, which might have been interesting if our leading girl was in any way interest worthy.

The script seems oddly fragmentary, and scenes just seem to be put in randomly. Waste of time.

Extremely predictable. Cute, kiddish, romantic somewhat. I felt the Lorenzo thing never properly ended. Atleast a final kiss could have made it better. I sort of want an Italian guy of my own after watching it 😂 Weird acting by all lead characters except maybe the god-mother. The movie would have been so much better if the acting was slightly better.
