The European tour continues

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2012)

Rome didn't look as good as Paris. "To Rome with Love" isn't as good as "Midnight in Paris".
Woody Allen is back in front of the camera with an age appropriate wife, there's something different.
The movie is a series of comedy skits pieced together using the city of Rome as a background. It says Rome and shows the famous streets, fountains and steps but the skits could take place in Chicago.
The cast is good. Nobody seems to be working too hard while working on vacation in Italy. The skits very and you soon wish to stay in one place perhaps more then go to the Alec Baldwin as Harvey the Rabbit in the Ellen Page enough already segments.
The episodic nature makes things uneven and it suffers a little from the written and directed by syndrome. It could be shorter and tighter.
Woody Allen fans will enjoy it. It has good number of laughs. It will not make it into the best of Woody Allen retrospect.
