All You Ever Wished For

Good production values, average actors, juvenile plot. I wonder how do things like this get made???? Yes it was bad on so many levels. But it was not terrible. I doubt I could do better if given 'all the money in the world' , but back to my question, HOW DO THINGS LIKE THIS GET MADE?? Or more importantly why did I watch it, and why did I write a review. ??? I have to assume it is due to the 'Italian tax credit law No. 244 of December 24th 2007'

A sweet little romp with a commedia dell'arte flair.

I wish I studied instead of watching this movie. Now I'll have to study double to make up for the brain cells it stole from me. Ok so I'll say the good and the bad about this movie.

PLUS POINTS: +Lovely scenery +Interesting idea, I guess +Italian theme MINUS POINTS: -Weird, like REALLY weird (a guy falls in love with a cow and constantly wants to milk it, like what????) -Horrible script -Awful acting -Super confusing plot -Lame jokes

Altogether, "All You Ever Wished For" was "Nothing I Ever Wished For." It was weird and not in a quirky cute way. It was rushed and slow at the same time. Maybe, just maybe, if it was done differently I might have liked it.

But that's me trying, with all my might, to be optimistic. The only thing I gained from this movie was an urge to visit italy.

Ciao!

Childish, not really funny, acted in a parossistic (I hope italian actors were playing "bad" actors purpousedly, if not, they should all change job at once!). The messy mixture of stereotypes on Italy and italians could have been funny if correct and intelligently used. On the contrary it is an absurd mix of deep rural south placed in the far north Alps where none of these characters are minimally credible not even for a funny movie. If you do not know anything at all about Italy this can maybe go unnoticed, but otherwise it is like placing Alabama redneck or texan stereotypes in a fishing village of Maine or in Seattle. The story is minimal even for a kid's movie and acting..no comment.. except for american actors and for romanian Loren looking beauty Madalina Ghenea. Only real gorgeous part of this otherwise insignificant, not funny, childish even for children, movie.

The rest of the movie doesn't amount to much - the writing is banal at best. Tyler and Rosalia have the best connection, flirty and romantic, in spite of the dialogue. The others were so boring I fast-forwarded through their plots, in spite of the hunky young gay male. Tyler is a pretty badly written character but Darren makes him better than he is. Tyler's father is a reliable actor I liked in Sex and the City who is always very watchable. If you're a huge Darren Criss fan you'll appreciate his charm and curls but other than and the gorgeous visuals of the countryside, there isn't much more. I had it on in the background while online.
