This was an okay romance...not a great one by any means. The main characters were such selfish and cowardly people, it was hard to like them. They thought of no one but themselves!
It was obvious the tourist board of Italy had a big hand in the funding of this movie, as the first half is mostly the main characters gadding about various tourist locales, complete with educational narration.
The movie is also peppered with stereotypes of Italians, depicted as loud, fat, and annoying ( except for the children, who are merely loud and annoying). There is an especially awful scene where some Italian children sing off key for what seems like an eternity.
It's not all bad - the story is somewhat interesting, and the supporting characters you can feel some sympathy for their situation. It's worth watching, but not as a thriller, just a "pass the time" romance.
