Criticism

" A dance full of trials and tribulations, as well as with original, witty scenes, the characters and episodes considering its variety of course can not develop properly. Thus, the film remains despite a slightly nicer details lurking walk through the Italian city. "

"Unlike Woody Allen's Paris but Rome is not a mythical place. The old have learned - about the dark side of celebrity or the extent of self-deception in young lovers - are rather trivial. So Allen has brought only a reasonably entertaining collection of short stories from his recent trip to Europe. "
