Love & Gelato

The leading actress reminds me a lot of the actress in Emily goes to Paris. Not bad, but not ready for the big screen, needs a little more training in order to fully engage the audience. The cinematography was a big part of my reason for not turning it off after that ridiculous scene in the restaurant. The script was about a teen & could have been written by my granddaughter, who I was reminded of throughout the movie. But do I want to watch an hour & 1/2 of a high-strung teen? No. But the supporting cast - all of them - saved the show. I haven't read the book, but I do understand that producers & directors will change a book based on what they want. The only time I felt connected to the lead character however, was when she was in the gallery & actually acted normal. Normal may be boring, but it doesn't have to be if the actor can pull it off. This could be a nice series wirh a little work.

Extremely predictable. Cute, kiddish, romantic somewhat. I felt the Lorenzo thing never properly ended. Atleast a final kiss could have made it better. I sort of want an Italian guy of my own after watching it 😂 Weird acting by all lead characters except maybe the god-mother. The movie would have been so much better if the acting was slightly better.

Some reviewers on here say it deviated quite a bit from the book. Well, I never read the book, but I enjoyed this film. It's a cute movie about a young girl discovering herself in Rome. I thought the story was a bit predictable, but sometimes that's okay. The acting was pretty good, the music was perfect, and the scenery...well...it's Italy for Pete's sake! What's not to like!

This is for young ones but it's also for those who were young once. It's light entertainment yet it drives home the point that your mom could be your best friend.

Susanna Skaggs as Lina is completely relatable. One could feel the emotions she's going through as she learns more about her mom and herself. Some scenes might feel cliche but it doesn't mean the film isn't worth your time.

Older people will find this film as enjoyable as they reminisce their young life with all its promise and disappointment.

Rome will always be romantic; and a cultural gem. Watching this film reminds me of a vibrant, pulsating city that I once called home.

This movie had an opportunity to be really good. The chemistry between the characters didn't work. It kinda just moves along at a sluggish pace and never hits the mark. There were a few parts of the movie that were funny and I watched it till the end. I would give it an average at best.
