Country: USA, Language: English, 112 mins

  • Director: Woody Allen
  • Writer: Woody Allen
  • Producer: Faruk Alatan; Letty Aronson

CGiii Comment

Woody continues with his European tour...it's time he went back home.

This follows the widely acclaimed and vastly over-rated Midnight in Paris and is, for all intent and purpose, the same film - only with Allen actually playing his annoying self and a huge serving of Italian.

The humour is flat and stale and familiar...most of the storylines are completely ludicrous - the opera-singer performing on stage in the shower is not, even remotely, funny.

It's time for Woody to go home...and retire.

The(ir) Blurb...

In Rome, the America tourist Hayley meets the local lawyer Michelangelo on the street and soon they fall in love with each other. Hayley's parents, the psychiatrist Phyllis and the retired music producer Jerry, travel to Rome to meet Michelangelo and his parents. When Jerry listens to Michelangelo's father Giancarlo singing opera in the shower, he is convinced that he is a talented opera singer. But there is a problem: Giancarlo can only sing in the shower. The couple Antonio and Milly travel to Rome to meet Antonio's relatives that belong to the high society. Milly goes to the hairdresser while Antonio waits for her in the room. Milly gets lost in Rome and the prostitute Anna mistakenly goes to Antonio's room. Out of the blue, his relatives arrive in the room and they believe Anna is Antonio's wife.
