Love & Gelato

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!

Terrible acting for the lead actress, she makes me want to puke. I mean, she was overacting, it was too much! Predictable storyline. I just watched it coz I was bored.. I'm at the part where she's drunk and asking for pastry. Maybe I'll continue watching in the next days, if I get bored again. I gave it a 3 for everyone's effort.

Zero chemistry between the young leads, terrible lead actress, total snooze-fest, very forced. I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes.

An American in Italy is so cliché.

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.

Sometimes I can't help wondering why some movies survives the script stage. It's not that i don't like a good romance flick, but unfortunately a vast majority sucks.

This one definitely does ! The characters are totally one dimensional and none of the actors seem to bother fleshing them out. Every twist and turn of the plot can be seen coming from miles away, and the most we get from this movie is some nice pictures of Rome, and that Italians are insane drivers.

We get some alleged love triangle between a smart rich guy and a nice not so rich guy, and there's some kind of mystery regarding who her father was, which might have been interesting if our leading girl was in any way interest worthy.

The script seems oddly fragmentary, and scenes just seem to be put in randomly. Waste of time.
