To Rome With Love 3/5

He is respected in America but loved in Europe, so perhaps that’s why the last decade or so has found Woody Allen pursuing his muse through the major European cities. After London, Barcelona and Paris comes To Rome With Love (12A), which Allen writes and directs, a film in which a number of storylines run parallel without ever really overlapping or colliding.

Hayley (Alison Pill) and Michelangelo (Flavio Parenti) are getting married, thus bringing together her parents Phyllis (Judy Davis) and Jerry (Allen) and his, Giancarlo (Fabio Armilato) and Sofia (Monica Nappo). American architecture student Jack (Jess Eisenberg) falls for his lover’s best friend Monica (Ellen Page), despite the wise words of his (possibly imaginary) mentor John (Alec Baldwin).
