Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
eric-langner After all I have read I almost abandoned watching this movie. But I didn't and I'm grateful for it. I liked it. Of course, the story is predictable, and, of course, it's not the best film ever - BUT: it's entertaining. And it's sincerely done. The actors play authentic, there is nothing over the top, which was probably the most surprising thing. There's certainly charm in it.
Tony Heck "A woman takes what she wants, when she wants it." Maggie (Parker) is starting to lose touch with her daughter Summer (Day). In an effort to reconnect they take a trip to Italy. Maggie sees this as a bonding experience but Summer sees it as punishment and is worried about her boyfriend who she left. When Maggie reconnects with a former love it only enforces Summer's desire to return home and she takes a car, and a grandma, and will stop at nothing to fly home. Maggie will stop at nothing to stop her. This is really not that bad of a movie. Generic and formulaic but still worth seeing and I actually enjoyed watching this. The movie is pretty predictable but it is a romantic comedy so that is to be expected. In terms of chick-flicks I have seen worse and while this is nothing super outstanding it was better than I was expecting and I laughed quite a bit. Overall, nothing original or unexpected but still worth your time. Much better than I was expecting. I give this a B.
kerryclear This is handleable to watch when you're in the mood to half-watch something. I watched it half whilst working and still followed it, without subtitles when there's odd conversations in Italian - it's that empty and predictable. I love SJP so I am really disappointed in this. Every bit was predictable, I guessed the relations, the start, middle and outcome. The soundtrack is appalling. It's actually the first thing that put me off the film. And I can't believe that I heard the girl's tattoos being described and defended, in 2016! I'm reviewing it with about 10 minutes left - and I know how it's going to end. Don't bother until it comes on TV and you're hung over or sick and worried about falling asleep in front of the box - because you won't miss anything.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a divorced woman who takes her teenage daughter to Italy, in order to find the Italian man who swept her of her feet for two months twenty years ago."All Roads Lead to Rome" is fun to watch because it's a comedy and a romantic comedy in one. The comedy part is the daughter Summer and her moodiness, and the subsequent road trip that leads to much hilarity. The romantic comedy part is quite sweet because there are three different relationships in the film, and viewers will have different evaluations of the three relationships. The last scene is romantic and touching. The scenery is beautiful, and the woman playing the TV journalist is very beautiful as well! It's refreshing to see Sarah Jessica Parker in an entertaining film. I enjoyed watching it.
