Rating: It must have been that during the filming of the movie, Allen was approached and invited to the inauguration of a summer hospital arena by the "presidenta" of the Lazio Region, and unfortunately he also came into contact with the General Director of the hospital, but the Allen who co-wrote and directed "To Rome With Love" is a filmmaker in critical condition.
A film that, despite accusations from critics of being biased, is a whirlpool of 70s clichés, lacking in brilliant ideas except for a few concepts (which are then poorly realized in the editing of scenes and especially in the dialogues), is acted poorly by almost all the numerous actors involved, and dubbed even worse (the young lawyer, Allen's future son-in-law, could have been dubbed better even by the last Bossi).
A film created only with the idea of completing Allen's cine-geographic quartet (New York, London, Paris, Rome was missing), but even so features an overly Romanesque traffic officer with an inflated crotch and an unlikely final simple citizen who leans out of a window in Piazza di Spagna (yeah right… no way unless you're a party treasurer or a minister).
Extremely disappointing film, 16 euros wasted beyond appeal, and to think that some people are raving about it on MyMovies... bah. Only saving graces are Antonio Albanese, who decently plays his part, the quick and amusing appearance of Scamarcio (in the same gag-scene), and, aside from acting quality, the appearance of the alien Penelope Cruz. There's no other like her, neither in cinema, nor in our billionaire friend's unlikely burlesque parlor.

"It really is like that if you think about it."
"The Colosseum: incredible that it has lasted for thousands of years when Sally and I have to repaint the bathroom every six months."
