For some reason I've never been a fan of Woody Allen movies, maybe it's because I've felt intellectually inferior, however I decided it's finally time to grow up and go watch one of his films. The result, pleasantly surprised. To Rome With Love is wonderfully written and the performances were equally as enchanting. From the opera singer who can only perform in the shower to the wide eyed 'country girl' who faces the dilemma of wanting to sleep with a famous actor. From the man who wakes up famous (yes, literally) to Penelope Cruz's character as a prostitute. Now, if, like me, you have never been to Rome, then best you get yourself to your closest cinema because this has to be hands down one of the best guides to Rome out there. Which is not surprising seeing as though the movie was basically funded by Roman investors. I'm glad to see that those little cobblestone alleyways and hanging plant baskets do actually exist. Picturesque! My only gripe...it's just a wee bit too long with a running time of 112 minutes. By the end of it you're like please just wrap things up. Oh yeah, and Alec Baldwin's role...I'm still confused.
