not good enough

Rating: 3/10 (11 April 2016)

You would expect more from an Allen movie, but in this case, it fails completely to even be funny. Many stories are presented, with the only thing in common that they are taking place in Rome. Okay, the scenes of the city are beautiful, but the movie is a madness, with no real story, and, in the end, no real purpose. I mean, was it about the city? broken relationships? misunderstandings? paranoia? No clue. The story about the opera and the shower was kind of funny, I guess, and the one with the newlyweds cute and probably the most interesting story in the film. Now, the one with the uni students had some depth in it, and the one with the unexpected fame was rhetorical, if not crazy. But still, they didn't mingle well with each other. So 3 out of 10.
