Confusing Time Frames, Fleeting Life of Being Famous and Changing A Marriage

Rating: 7/10 (11 May 2014)

I like a movie that lets you explore the beautiful sights of a place. In this particular movie, it was Rome (duh). If you have seen Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, then you'll surely like To Rome With Love which also happens to have Woody Allen in it. The only difference is the latter movie revolves around multiple stories.
If there was one thing I disliked about the movie, it's the fact that it's inconsistent with time. Some of the stories occur in just one day while others occur in a series of days. It's a bit confusing. I still loved the stories especially the one with Leopoldo Pisanelli. It reminds me of how fleeting moments can be especially if you're a celebrity. One moment, you are tinseltown's hot topic, with people asking you the silliest questions because then again, you are famous and everything you say is gold for these people. The next thing you know, nobody's paying attention anymore because everyone's moved on to the next person. It's no wonder why celebrities try so hard to do anything that brings attention to them.
I also liked the story of the couples who came from a small town. They're the conservative type but after a day of being accidentally separated, they become very different. The meek husband gets lessons from a prostitute and the wife releases all of her inhibitions by agreeing to sleep with a criminal. Those encounters help them discover something within themselves that will most likely help them improve what seems like a boring marriage that they have.
Lastly, Ellen Paige's character at first seems pretty charming. Greta Gerwig's character is obviously right for feeling insecure and fearing that her boyfriend might fall in love with her. Monica, (Ellen Paige's character) is passionate, sexual, cultured and adventurous. Or so it seems. Just the type of girl any young guy in his 20's would fall for.
Spoiler: I was so happy when she and Jack (Jesse Eisenberg) didn't end up together. She would have been a big mistake. With her haste decision to go to Japan after accepting a movie role, there was no way their relationship would ever work.
