Review of To Rome with Love (2012) by Renzomalo — 21 Aug 2013
The Yin and Yang of contemporary filmmaking: Woody Allen’s “To Rome with Love” and “Midnight In Paris.” The latter is a work of genius; the former is its polar opposite. Midnight in Paris was fluid, inventive and populated with memorable, believable characters; “To Rome With Love” was disjointed, static, and festooned with stereotypical caricatures, the most irritating of which was Mr.
Allen himself, who, in “Midnight In Paris,” had to good sense to stay behind the camera. Seriously, Owen Wilson does a much better “Woody Allen” than does Woody Allen. Even Alec Baldwin’s pompous mugging couldn’t save this one.
Bottom line: don’t waste your time on this.
