All You Ever Wished For

Seriously the film is terrible.

But I would like to address the childishness of the other reviewer who says that stereotypical view sof Italy are "typical American mindset."

Actually this is a typical EUROPEAN mindset. I've lived and worked half my life in Europe and Europeans engage in stereotypes about other European countries and their peoples ALL the time, and do so especially in film

There are BAFTA winning, and other European award winning films where a British writer writes about France, a German writer sets a film in Spain, or a Greek film maker sets a film in Stockholm, or a French filmmaker sets a film in the USA or with American characters that are FULL of stereotypes. Moreover if you know Italy, northern Italians hold profoundly stereotyped views of southern Italy and visa versa. The stereotypes are part of the humor.

So stop the culture of complaint and stop being offended at everything. The problem with this film is not stereotypes about Italy and Italians, but poor writing and poor acting.

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!

Funny and charming in a hallmark TV movie kind of way. I will watch it over and over again because I love those cheesy and predictable movies. If you're a fan of those kids of movies, you will love this too!

I believe in LOVE. Its a simple tale of people falling in love with each other at first sight because of spell put on a small village somewhere in the mountains in Italy. Amidst the storm of films being made about the cruel realit of life we forget that all these hardships are our own self created and in the name of being individuals of modern rational minset, nonsense like LOVE has no place in relationships and its all about give and take. This film made me breathe easy and restored my dwindling faith in love i.e., its ok to fall in love, confess it to the one and try to win their heart o matter what. Definately not in the race for an oscar due to over simplicity of plot yet some scenes made my heart fill with joy. The female lead is a spellbinding beauty. Only for the romantics.

I love the scenery and the village,so i don't care about your negative comments.
