To Rome With Love (2012) 5/10

Starring : Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penelope Cruz, Judy Davis, Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig, Ellen Page
Director : Woody Allen
Running Time : 112 mins

A series of romantic encounters are told against the backdrop of the city of Rome, including some standard romances and their farcical comings and goings.

This is a terrible movie that even a devout fan of Woody Allen would find difficult to stomach. There are some okay, though predictable storylines, such as the French farce of one man’s parents thinking a prostitute who has accidentally found her way into his hotel room is his fiancée, but all in all this is a self indulgent piece that really shows that Allen is losing his touch (if he ever truly had it) as he tries desperately to write realistic characters that come across as nothing more than whiny and hateful.
