Author Topic: To Rome With Love (2012) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 07-29-2012 02:14 PM                        CINEMA: AMC Veterans 24, Tampa, FL AUDITORIUM: 16 PRESENTATION: Sony Digital Cinema 4K PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None RATING: Three stars (out of four) THE PLOT: Wackiness! And yes, wackiness ensues. Allen's series of films where he drops relationship stories in scenic European locales continues with Rome. This time, it's a parts-bin series of relationship stories...some related, some not...that mostly dabble in unexpected celebrity. There's lots of trademark Woody Allen absurdity like we haven't seen in years. Allen himself takes on a role for the first time in his last few projects. Alec Baldwin is a highlight as a character that essentially plays the subconscious of Jesse Eisenberg's character, even though all the characters surrounding him know that he's there and interact with him. Roberto Benigni gets an awesome role as an average guy who suddenly finds himself inexplicably famous for no reason. Your mileage may vary based on how much you like each story. They're all ideas that, on their own, couldn't be hashed out into a feature. But I personally dug everything here.  |  IP: Logged
