More Critic Reviews
Allen's story moves along quite wonderfully, primarily because of his nuanced casting.
Top Critic
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.
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
SSG Syndicate
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.
Tri-City Herald
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.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
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.
Tampa Bay Times
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.
Boston Herald
Woody Allen follows up his magical Midnight in Paris with a sweet but entirely shrug-worthy stroll through Rome.
Times-Picayune
Every storyline concludes in the same circular fizzle.
Austin Chronicle
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.
Oregonian
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.
Las Vegas Weekly
Just because writer/director Woody Allen may have enchanted you with Parisian midnights does not mean you'll necessarily fall in love with Rome.
Reeling Reviews
Well, it's not "Midnight in Paris," but it's not "Whatever Works," either.
