Angry.

Rating: 2/10 (5 February 2018)

Ok. I dealt with the flies. The many, many flies (EVEN IN WINTER BY A FIRE). It reminded me those old "Save the Children" ads, but I reeled myself back in (at first).
I enjoyed the scenery and waited like a pet waits for its owner to fill up her bowl. I hear it. I see it. I know it's coming! I'm ready for this romance!
I was open minded about the fact that the main character looks 15, squirrelly and is kind of a jerk.
I appreciated the hippy academic parents and stabs at a cool soundtrack.
I LOVE Italy...
30 years later...
But um. Oh. Awkward. Is this...romance?
And WTF happened with Marcy???! Was that necessary? Go play with your peach or apple pie and leave that girl alone! This made me angry. And there was no turning back.
Who does that? Even if we are chalking this up to a "summer fling," how the hell am I expected to give two sh-ts about the main character after he completely tosses her aside like trash. ESPECIALLY, when he pursued HER and she even told him she was afraid of getting hurt.
Yea. Cool. She's the bigger person, approaches him and then they're "friends forever"...but I would have preferred some actual Italian passion at that moment. Like screw.you.dude. Aaaannnd he could care less.
One person's love isn't better or more important than another's. Just because you're in love doesn't mean you have to be an ass to someone else. That Surfjan song could've easy been playing in her mind.
No thanks!
