Woody has killed it again. " TO ROME WITH LOVE" is great cinema. • Austin Daze

“Woody Allen is getting old!” That was what rushed through my mind during his first on camera scene. Could he still do it?
Within a moment that thought washed away as I became wrapped up in the four stories direct from Woody’s playbook. Each one is captivating. Each is a comedic tale of life and love, set in Rome. Hard to say which is my favorite. The cast is unstoppable and their chops are molded into perfection. See this one. I will be seeing it again. This man is the master. He has given us another love letter to a place far from NYC. Makes me want to visit Rome and to sing “the clown opera” in the shower.

“Great cinema?” No, no way. Very “old hat” and pitiful. Nothing new, nothing clever. Woody’s STILL boringly narcissistic, and that’s ALL that’s going on. Clever but never funny. The only good thing about this movie is the fabulous Penelope Cruz. If not for her alone, this would be one of the worst movies ever made.
