 A superbly acted romantic comedy... one of my favorites September 5, 2005
Karl (Yokohama)
I order foreign films from Amazon hoping that they live up to the reviews I read. Since almost everything gets 4 and 5 star ratings these days, it is difficult to trust the ratings, but I'm happy to say, this film is one which not only lived up to the ratings, but far exceeded them. The movie had me laughing out loud and at other times, had me thinking seriously about life. Not a mean feat. Excellent acting throughout, with the part of the unappreciated mother superbly acted by Licia Maglietta. I think that she was the main reason the movie transcended ordinary and moved to excellent. If you like Italy, and would think you'd enjoy a superbly acted, light-hearted, romantic comedy ... then this is a movie you shouldn't miss. I enjoyed it so much I've given it to several of my friends as a present.
Charming, funny, feel-good film... April 19, 2008
D. Kanigan (CT, USA)
Rosalba, played by Licia Maglietta, is a married, middle aged, Italian woman with two teenage sons. The family is on vacation and Rosalba gets left behind at a bus stop leaving her to think that something is missing in her life and that she is being taking for granted. Rather than wait for the bus and her family to come back to retrieve her, she hitch hikes her way to Venice - where she finds her independence and her worth. She gets a job. She meets new friends. She finds music that she set aside since childhood. She finds beauty, passion and poetry. During this time, her husband, a successful kitchen and bathroom fixture distributor, sends a hired, overweight mamma's boy plumber-made-detective out to find her and bring her back - and these plumber-made-detective scenes are hilarious.
The movie has engaging characters, especially Rosalba who has a captivating spirit and manner about her that is central to this film. The cinematography is gorgeous with moonlit town squares, Venice streets and neighborhoods, rivers and shops - all that make you want to jump in a plane a fly to Venice. While the ending is sudden and leaves some open ends, this is a must see, feel-good movie where you find yourself smiling throughout.

I really enjoyed this movie.
It's a beautiful romantic comedy in an Italian setting.
Makes you want to live in Venice.
What I love about European movies is that they focus on the actors and rely upon them to make the story beautiful. They always make sure to show the beauty and culture of Europe. Fascinating.
I think more women than men would enjoy this movie. I think it comes from a woman's point of view wanting to find something new and exciting in her life and not having any family obligations.
