All Roads Lead to Rome

Wow, what a sad little mess this is. Just caught it on cable this afternoon, because I'd never heard of it and the cast seemed promising.

A story-line so clichéd with characters making stupid choices to advance the ridiculous story along. What a waste of Miss Parker and Miss Cardinale. Is it any wonder that it was never released in the U.S.? Pretty much a mistake for all involved. Raoul Bova remains a very attractive leading man. And the young girl who picks up the daughter in her pick up truck is a dead ringer both physically and vocally of the young Claudia Cardinale. Was this done as an homage deliberately? If so, a nice touch.

Please, can anyone stop Sarah Jessica Parker from speaking Italian, French or any other foreign language?

I was fast forwarding within 2 minutes of the film start and when I saw the car they picked up at the airport I knew I wouldn't make it to the end.no real chemistry between cast very poor script, as a Rom com I felt it was worse than a hallmark Xmas special.at least my 85 year old mother was delighted that she had aged better than Claudia Cardinale so extra point for that.

Cute little storyline with unexpected detours. Amusing enough. Cutes. No complaint.

No need to give away plot points, since the whole story is absolutely predictable from start to finish. But the way it is peppered with implausible elements, almost offensive sterotypes and clichés, and a totally uninspired direction, make this movie bearable to watch only if you can enjoy unvoluntarily embarrassing, silly moments and scenes. None of the actors seem interested in what they are doing; both Sarah Jessica Parker ad Raoul Bova, elsewhere charming, make you wonder what's even remotely interesting or attractive in the characters the play. And it's quite painful to watch Claudia Cardinale delivering a grotesquely bad acted performance. Close to "so bad, it's good"; alas, it's just bad.
