Four to Dinner

Surely there was someway to make this a little bit less confusing. Love the characters. Cinematography could have been better, direction was somewhat lacking. It's a good idea but I think it was almost a failure.

It's an entertaining film that explores the idea of soul mate, the one that completes us. The film argues that there is no perfect match, a match made in heaven. It's how a couple (or if you are so inclined, polyamory) works on the relationship from day 1.

The movie shows this by looking at possible scenarios or alternative realities between couples as they navigate the ups and downs of commitment.

Who end up as durable couples? As the story suggests, which makes sense, your guess is as good as mine.

The actors playing Gulia, Chiara, Matteo and Dario entertain us as they drive home the point. The situations they are in do happen in real life. They are able to portray their roles convincingly.

Love is strange. You must remember the name and the character clearly when watching this movie. In this movie, the two different scenarios are switching too fast that some people may be confused by it. Every time I switched, I thought about the condition whether it was paired by the host or the hostess. In short, love is always messy, and it may be smooth at the beginning, but after going around in circles, it turns out that she/he is not too bad. Does soulmate really exist? In most cases it doesn't. A perfect match probably doesn't exist, too, because people are independent individuals, and everyone has their own personality. You like dogs, he/she likes cats, you like the sea, and he/she likes mountains. The real situation in life is that love eventually becomes family affection, and family affection is also mixed with a little love. Most family makes do and mends for each other, and they make it work together almost as a team...

I am genuinely surprised from this movie.

From the trailer, I wasn't expecting it to turn out the way it did in terms of developing the story, it may look confusing but I think that the beauty of this movies lies in between this confusion.

It does not give you any certainty, it gives you a range of possibilities, each one of them as valid as the other. Prepare yourself to change your mind about soulmates, or to have your opinion confirmed.

I agree with some other reviews that it is a big confusing with the constant couple switching and that part could've been done better, but nevertheless it was very enjoyable and innovative movie, dialogues were very relatable and the final message is so spot on in my opinion!
