    My gosh, it's the bad acting for me.

    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.

    Awful

    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.

    Worth Your Time

    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.

    Another one of those cute nice predictable movie

    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.

    Sweet little movie

    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!

    • Trivia
      The book is set in Florence, Italy instead of Rome. Additionally, Lina stayed in a house with a view of a cemetery, instead of the city skyline.
    • Goofs
      Francesca is seen aggressively driving around in Fiat 500e Cabrio. You can hear the engine running at high rpm, in reality this is an electric vehicle and would barely make any noise.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Lina Emerson: [narrating] My mother had told me about a saying in Italy. "Il primo amore si scora mai." You never forget your first love. The irony is, she never mentioned anything about love in her life. Or even Italy, for that matter, until literally the last minute. Like it was all a big mystery or something. Which, it turns out, I guess it kind'a was.
