L'estate addosso

Brilliant flick, that warmed me up in the 31 'st December. The movies is with pretty much all irregularities , deviations of life patterns and slightly pinching and swinging the beauty and dusty darkness of young life . What I love about the movie is it gives a space, for all who haven't figured them in all the details of it . The all kind of friendly, happy ,romantic, bitter ,anxious,erotic,carefree chemistry is in well balanced with in the game and it all in mix of right proportion. Indeed the the entire crew had done a great job here.

We got memories to live, we got to leave them and then become nostalgic . But that very thing will be your story. Marco think about the death, and movie open with clues to utter depression but the movie in it's flow, gracefully chunked this ever longing depressive question and dispose. Such a relief exactly like the summer.

You don't know what Matt and Paul is doing, Jul never showed after, after the trip. I am sure Marco will say same even after another decade. This all ringing a bell to say that ' don't dare question the adventure of life' as it was never to be strictly alter. Dear Marco , Of course you are not the only one learning to be something and struggling with flashbacks. 8 happy stars to 'Summertime'

Was well worth the watch. You won't be disappointed. Friendships,love,relationships. Friends being full of life enjoying there company together . A lesson to enjoy life to the fullest.

A decent film to watch with wonderful acting and scenery that curiously keeps its audience at a distance by presenting rathe bizarre choices of its characters in their rather unconvincing relationships with each other.

Part soap opera, part just silly, it's redeeming feature is presenting the central Gay couple as relatable, likeable and far from the usual Hollywood stereotypes.

With a less rambling and absurd storyline, with characters making more credible and logical choices, this could have been a very special film. As it is, it's a reasonably pleasant, if mindless, distraction.

The actors are all attractive eye candy which disguises their often stupid story-lines. Surely it can't be that hard to write story arcs that add too, rather that detract from, the viewers enjoyment.

A young, good-looking, and inexplicably well-off gay male couple occupy a multi-million dollar unit in the historic Duboce triangle district of San Francisco -- they also own a sailboat and a car as well. The couple decide to host some strangers from Italy, who turn out to be a pair of bratty and insufferable teenagers.

After insulting their hosts immediately upon meeting, the two teens continue to disrespect said hosts by bickering like petulant children. Despite this, the gay couple chooses to not only be generous with their home, but also their time, because despite being young, gay, good-looking and rich in San Francisco, these two men apparently have no lives or friends, allowing them plenty of time to entertain their ungrateful and annoying guests.

The story gets even weirder and further stretches reality. One of the men decides to quit his job in order to pursue his passion of riding horses, which is made possible because his partner agrees to "pick up more hours" as a realtor in order to compensate. This is also perfect timing as their freeloading guests extend their stay from the originally intended few days to an entire month without anyone questioning it.

One half of the bratty teens suddenly falls for the other half, but the other half started off being a virginal prude who then falls for one of the gay hosts she originally deemed a "pervert".

Honestly, none of this convoluted nonsense makes any sense at all. The only thing that made this movie worth watching for me was seeing shots of beautiful Rome and San Francisco.

I love a good summer movie, and in general the basic story here is solid, as is most of the acting, but the weak script and at times stilted direction negate each other and leave you with a basically OK film. My friend I saw it with really liked it and connected with it, but for me it was just pleasant and not particularly special.
