To Rome With Love

Indie, Comedy
4.5 stars
Loved it, though it is strange and bizarre. Woody Allen shows off the charms of Rome in this cute film where the characters live out their fantasies. Alec Baldwin gets to relive his young adulthood through Jesse Eisenberg; Woody tries relive his glory days in the music business by discovering a new talent; Roberto Benigni (Life is Beautiful) experiences fame; and a young newlywed couple live out their fantasies with other people. Ellen Page (Juno) and Greta Gerwig (No Strings Attached, Arthur) should have swapped roles, I cannot see Page playing a sexy temptress, there is just nothing sexy about her. Penelope Cruz plays an amusing hooker. A fun, weird romp.
