A minor Allen film, but still very enjoyable.

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2014)

With a film being made every year, Woody Allen's career has highs and lows. 2011's Midnight in Paris and 2013's Blue Jasmine are his two highest points in many years. In between is To Rome with Love. Unlike the other two films, it's pretty minor overall, although it's still a very funny comedy.
The film tells four different stories, all unconnected to each other. Some are stronger than others, although each has it's interesting points. The highlight is a love triangle involving Jesse Eisenberg and Ellen Page, with Alec Baldwin as an all seeing commentator. This might have even worked as a film on it's own, and is in the same vein as many of Allen's romance tales.
The other entries include a husband and wife who find themselves wrapped up in other people, a man who suddenly becomes famous for no reason at (the weakest entry of the bunch) and a young couple's parents meeting for the first time (with Allen playing one of the parents, his first role since 2006).
Allen's story in particular contains a very funny conclusion that seems right out of his sillier early 70s movies. Plenty of great one liners and comedic situations pop in all the stories overall. This isn't one of Allen's films that explores anything deeply or carries a big message, but provides a lot of laughs. And that alone makes it worth seeing.
