For the most part, a disappointment!

Rating: 5/10 (2 April 2017)

First I must say, I LOVE Woody Allen! I think he is the most prolific comedic genius of our day. And with those high expectations, I was mostly disappointed with 'To Rome With Love'.
Don't get me wrong, it did have some of that typical dry Woody humor...especially when he was referring to the undertaker's house! But the operatic shower scene was shown to such excess that it became more annoying than funny. As well, I thought the film could have used more of that verbal Allen wit and much less of the sight gags, such as the woman dropping her phone into the storm drain, or the thief that emerges in the hotel room when the older actor Luca is about to seduce the naive Milly.
But, I did love the Leopoldo storyline ~ a man who lives an especially mundane life only to wake one day to find that he's become a national celebrity! I wish the entire movie was filled with this unique humor, but unfortunately it was not.
For the bits and lines that were classic Woody, and overlooking the many parts that were simply forgettable, am giving 'To Rome With Love' 5* out of 10...and already looking forward to his next movie!
