Boy Meets Girl

I liked this movie for many reasons, and mostly because it was a romantic comedy that was something different. There is a feel of mystery and magical realism that I found intriguing. It wasn't a standard boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl. For me, the magical couple (Il Magnifico and Mrs. Jones) and their apparent affect on Angelina and Mike's romance. was the most interesting part of the movie.

The scenes in which Angelina and Mike were in together were great - I wish that there had been more of them. I like the scene in which Angelina appears to be speaking in English without her Italian accent, and Mike appears to be speaking Italian.

If you like Italy and the Italian language, chances are you will like this movie. If you are Italian, as I am, you will relate to the characters. There was a good amount of Italian in the movie. There is a funny scene in which Mike learns Italian "gestures." and what they mean. He also gets a sort of magical romantic makeover.

I'm not sure where this movie was filmed (Canada, maybe?) but I thought that the scenery was beautiful. It sort of reminded me of the Little Italy in Montreal.

I like the fact that both men and women will enjoy this movie - it's not a typical "chick flick." All in all, a good movie - a must - see for Sean Astin fans or anyone who likes romantic movies.

Sweet, hysterically funny. Beautiful play of colors and music, awakens the Italian in all of us. Feels like a classic movie, such as "Roman Holiday". For all those who, in innocence, still believe in the perfect love. A great Valentine's Day movie

This could have been much better. The story was quite good, but was hampered by silly use of speeded cameras, and confusing and unexplained fantasy elements. Nonetheless, it was quite pleasant, with Emily Hampshire interesting in the female lead role. Joe Mantegna and Kate Nelligan also impressed. There were several amusing bits parodying Italian emotional characteristics.

this film was gorgeous. beautiful use of color, light, and language. it's a very common plot line, done in a very unique, quirky, and sweet way. i was surprised to see sean astin in a romantic lead like this, but he did an absolutely wonderful job.

I found the bit of Angelina speaking English made perfect sense. The Jones couple dropped those rose petals onto their shoulders, making Mike and Angelina able to understand each other perfectly. What didn't make sense were the Jones, they were all magical. How were they able to do those things and all? Like the words shining through the wallpaper...

But otherwise, it was a very good movie. And like always, Sean Astin did an awesome job!
