I love this movie. I have watched it at least 10 times in the last six months and it never gets old. It is well acted and so cute it makes you feel good.
Gennaro R. gave it a 10:
Too good to be true!
Kim W. gave it a 9:
A gentle and endearing film about human nature and relationships. The plot may be somewhat unrealistic and far-fetched, but it works very well in terms of keeping the viewer interested in what will happen next. There's plenty of subtle humor delightfully presented in a way that only Italian film makers are capable. Whatever flaws the film may have are easily overlooked by its very competent acting and directing. The underlying message of the film is simple and uplifting: that it is never too late or too hopeless to find love and happiness.
Joan G.S. gave it a 10:
Sure this is an old theme but never before treated with such whimsey, I laughed throughout as did most of the audience. Great cast, great direction. For us who are starved for good comedy...this is a must see!
Andrys B. gave it a 10:
I loved this film. Many forget that it's meant to be whimsical (I thought this was rather clear -- "You're real!" ) and complain it's not "realistic" enough. That was not the goal. But in many ways, it IS realistic, actually, in feeling when it's not just delighting in human quirks. Romantic whimsy. We could use a lot more of this - beautifully acted and directed. And, FUNNY !!
