First of all, I am surprised why this movie was rated so highly. I was expecting something interesting and unusual in the storyline in this film, but I was very disappointed. Any "beauty" was I was expecting from this film was "stolen" away from me. I kept waiting for something important to happen, but it turned out to be long and boring.
Liv Tyler plays a 19-year old girl named Lucy who travels to Italy to learn the identity of her father - but by the end of the movie I was too bored to tears to care - and lose her virginity, and no doubt she has all the guys more than willing to help her get rid of it. As if it were all that simple, right? Apparently, it was. I did not believe her "performance" at all. She acted like an old pro, not a shred of inexperience at all.
I can't believe I watched this whole movie, and at the end, I was thinking, "That's IT? What was the point of this?" I kept waiting to see who would be the person Tyler would finally lose it with, but it was a big disappointment because it was with someone she barely knew and he was a minor, insignificant character that we are introduced to towards the end of the film. The sex scene was not erotic, it was annoying and unrealistic.
The only interesting and redeeming character is the man dying of AIDS played by Jeremy Irons. Aside from some beautiful Italian scenery and some tender lines of poetry here and there, I would not recommend this movie and it was a waste of my time and money.
