Allen's story moves along quite wonderfully, primarily because of his nuanced casting.

Most of the characters are archetypes, yet Allen treats them with genuine affection and avoids the bitterness that's marred much of his recent work.

It's minor Woody, but it's still Woody.

Not great, but not grating.

Alas, it's a love letter written on the fly, with brushstroke characters working their way through a cluster of sketchy, disconnected plotlines.

A charming but terribly self-indulgent trifle that's less than the sum of its many parts.

Flighty, fanciful and amusing - but quickly forgettable

Woody Allen had a bunch of ideas, none good enough for a movie. Rather than toss them, he threw all of them at the screen to see what would stick. They all stick. Brilliantly.

If Allen had remained in Paris, we might call his new film a divertissement -- a diversion, an amusement, albeit one that is crowded with characters and ideas.

A gorgeous setting for what is essentially warmed-over Woody... unrelated stories focus on familiar themes of romance and celebrity... a clashing assortment of signature styles, as if Allen emptied his notebook and crumpled thin ideas into a script.

To Rome with Love is no valentine

Not as captivating as last summer's sleeper hit 'Midnight in Paris' (few films are), Woody Allen's follow-up, similarly Euro-centric comedy 'To Rome with Love' offers many of the same pleasures.

Woody Allen follows up his magical Midnight in Paris with a sweet but entirely shrug-worthy stroll through Rome.

Every storyline concludes in the same circular fizzle.

In his late '70s, Allen only has so many working days left in him, and if he has stories and ideas that he's eager to get down on film, he's earned the right.

No one is going to remember To Rome With Love as a highlight of Woody Allen's European period, but it's a pleasant diversion.

Just because writer/director Woody Allen may have enchanted you with Parisian midnights does not mean you'll necessarily fall in love with Rome.

Well, it's not "Midnight in Paris," but it's not "Whatever Works," either.

Audience Reviews for To Rome with Love

To Rome With LoveTo Woody Allen fans with loveFor some stranger reason people have decided not to like this movie. This movie is fantastic; critics are right to say it doesn't even come close to Midnight in Paris feet, but itself as a movie is amazing. In my opinion one of the best movies of 2012.To Rome with Love ... more

Four stories in Rome -- one about an old architect witnessing his youthful doppelganger's mistakes, one about a man who can only sing in the shower, one about a man passing off a hooker as his new bride, and one about a man who becomes famous for no discernible reason -- comprise Woody Allen's latest film.Woody Allen ... more
