watched “to rome with love” – except for some sharp repartee between woody allen himself and the topnotch judy davis, the film sags and eventually fizzles out with too many great actors who don’t have nearly enough to do. the film pokes fun at every italian stereotype but it’s too superficial to be interesting. it could have been a visual ode to rome (like allen’s stunning “manhattan”) but even that possibility doesn’t quite crystallize. “midnight in paris” was much better and that’s hardly my favorite woody allen film.
