Review of To Rome with Love (2012) by Gosha A — 23 Aug 2012

Benefiting from the beautifully captured cinematography of its namesake city, generally excellent acting, and frequent bursts of absolute hilarity, Woody Allen's latest on this European adventure, while not nearly as ambitious as his journey to Paris, is still an all around entertaining ensemble romantic comedy. As four, and at one point five, separated stories play out around the city of love, we get the talents of Jessie Eisenberg, Ellen Page, Allison Pill, and the triumphant return of the long seemingly forgotten Italian actor Roberto Benigni, all acting at the top of their game. While some stories may not work as well as others (while Benigni gives the script his all, the premise of his vignette eventually wears thin), the end result is a memorable European pitstop in a master's long career.

Grade: B.
