Love in the Villa

With so many serious movies and shows coming out, this was lightharted, real and unrealistic at the same time, and I loved it. Why can't we hav a little fun with these movies?

I don't agree with all the bad reviews here!

I laughed, reared up and had fun on my own with this movie, while my boyfriend was away for a long time! We have fun too. What's the deal with some reviews saying that adults can't have fun and be silly?

I think the characters are sweet, realistic and weird, the plot is sweet and I'm that kind of dreamer, living my own destiny fairytale.

I love this type of sweet, corky romans movies!

Have fun with it. Not all romance has to be 100% realistic.

I recommend this movie!

I dont understand the 1 and 2 reviews. Maybe people from competition just to talk **** about netflix? Or maybe that kind of people who needs to watch 10 movies to like 1..

Its easy to watch. Entertaining, the viewer can laugh sometimes. It has a good ending, and the performances are good. Nice scenarios.

Not every movie needs to be a blockbuster.

Sometimes a person just need a 2h chillout movie to relax. Thats wath this one offers.

Netflix already made some bad movies, no doubt. But this isn't one of them.

** imdb: not every review should/must contain at least 600 characters.. sometimes 100 or 200 its enough.

It's not the worst low-budget romcom ever made. I mean it is pretty bad but at least it is set in a pretty location and there is a very funny scene with the cats. Actually there are a few unintentionally funny scenes in the movies.

As the other reviewers have said the female lead is completely ridiculous. I would have dumped her a long time ago and it is hard to imagine her boyfriend sticking four years with her without spotting all the red flags along the way.

I mean she must have spent years obsessing over that trip to Verona booking all the daytrips and planning every meal! This lady has a screw loose for sure. She agreed to share the villa with a strange man instead of just looking for a refund and alternative accommodation elsewhere.

Also, how did she suddenly have a very expensive looking wardrobe at her disposal when her luggage had been donated to an orphanage?

There are loads of baffling moments and in the end, it seemed like the two characters rather deserved each other and their respective ex's had lucky escapes.

Honestly a bunch of high school kids could sit down and come up with a better plot for a romcom than this! I mean seriously it is not surprising that Netflix is on the rocks. Maybe before greenlighting these type of films they could have a focus group. Anyone who has ever watched a romcom would know this would be a dud idea.

There are better things to watch on netflix and I wish I could take back the last two hours.

Romcoms can be cute. Usually, it starts off light and humorous, then hits you with the magic, and leaves you in sad-happy tears in the back end.

Didn't happen this time.

Both characters were not "lovable" characters to begin with. The back and forth bordered on attempted suicide... just in bad taste in my opinion... what I mean is that there wasn't much wit in the tit for tat foreplay. Then suddenly, things take a quick turn as if they are both almost different characters basked in kindness and restraint longing for each other.

Considering the location, I'm not even sure we got to see the charms of this Italian city so much either. And that's a shame. Don't just tell us you're in Italy, show us you're in Italy. That's part if the charm and why we want to see the movie... love in Italy!

All in all, the magic didn't happen for me.

After seeing Letters to Juliet and a few Hallmark movies revolving around the famous balcony, I wasn't expecting anything new.

The leading lady is adorable, the leading man tall and imposing and they follow the classic trope set down by Darcy and Elizabeth with the hate to love story line.

The location scouts did a wonderful job finding shots of Verona I haven't seen before and the two leads made it a little bit special with their own unique personalities. Their war over the flat was entertaining, their loathing funny and engaging.

( Shout out to "Blake" the waiter, who made me lol )

If you don't want to be surprised and need something sweet and soft, look no further.

Grab a blankie, a glass of wine/cup of tea and settle in.
