To Rome With Love - A Beautiful, Hilarious Fantasy.

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2013)

Midnight in Paris is my favorite Woody Allen film. Something about that movie just really connected with me, and I've probably seen it ten plus times. I also loved films that showcase a great city, like Allen did with Midnight in Paris in 2011 and Vicky Christina Barcelona in 2008. So as you could imagine, I was extremely excited for Allen's latest city love-letter, To Rome With Love, which came out last year. I finally got around to watching it. Did it deliver? Absolutely! To Rome With Love is an absolutely immersing, beautiful, hilarious experiences, and if you can ignore it's few minor flaws, it's completely awesome! The movie focuses on four different story-lines, and though this can get a little bit messy at times, I think this structure worked great. The film is filled with likable, funny characters, beautiful scenery of Rome, and colorful, hilarious dialog. Another one of my favorite things about this movie is the great soundtrack. It fits the movie's tone and pace perfectly, and keeps the narrative on it's feet. There is so much to love in To Rome With Love, it's definitely one of my favorite films of last year, and I would completely recommend this romantic, funny, fantasy. Ignore the critics, this one is definitely worth checking out. 10/10
