I must be a brain dead, mouth breathing moron...
Because I really liked this movie.I am not a movie snob, but I like to watch things that don't make me feel horrid, and I like to watch movies that let me think that there is redemption and love and happiness. I know that things work out remarkably well when you are beautiful and have a script writer to make sure that they work out well, but my simple mind can forgive these transgressions of logic.The premise of the movie, for what it is worth, is entirely viable. As a worker bee who enjoys his job, I would have a hard time renouncing my home and buying a villa in Tuscany. That being said, when we got to that part of the movie, I did say: "Wouldn't that be fun for a while...".I agree with those who say that this isn't a masterpiece. It isn't the Godfather, it isn't Gone with the Wind, and it isn't Lawrence of Arabia. If you want those, go buy them. If you want a romantic movie that they will show on TNT someday, and you don't want it to take place in New York, this isn't a bad choice.I've been to Italy, I watch Molto Mario, and I thought that this movie was pretty. It was sappy, it was predictable, and it was nice. If you buy it and regret it, remember that I warned you about my status as a mouth breathing moron.
