What critics said
Critics found the film a light, visually appealing anthology of farce and magical realism whose pleasures are undercut by rushed construction and uneven execution.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Rome's landmarks, streets, architecture, and tourist encounters provide the film's recurring romantic and comic frame.
The film follows distinct threads involving Hayley and Michelangelo, Antonio and Milly, Leopoldo, and John and Jack.
Leopoldo's sudden celebrity and Giancarlo's shower-dependent opera career blend plausible social comedy with overtly absurd premises.
Leopoldo becomes a paparazzi-hunted celebrity and is rapidly forgotten by the media.
