Really liked it. Creative, funny, touching, humorous, different...and of course romantic. I especially like the unique story line, and the interestingly developed and finely acted characters. A mini Italian vacation. I want to swim in that water.

I thought this film was light, sweet and fun and definitely free from all the heavy stuff of shoot 'em up-loud,-over sexed-ultra violent-movies of the mainstream/general cinema (but of the good quality always found in the Cinema Society). There were flaws, though minor and maybe I tend to over analyze these things , however, I do wish the "industry" would release more films like this so that those that haven't enjoyed a move past 1969 (like my Grandmother) could actually enjoy a movie like this and actually get to see it in the theater.

One of my favorites of the season! It's amazing to me that this film is not going to be released here. It seems as though it would have wide appeal and would benefit from a "word of mouth" compaign. Anyway, great story, humor, romance, beautiful cinematography, interesting characters... what's not to love?!

What a Rom-Com should be, just right on the Romance and nice mix of plenty of comedy, wish more American films could do the same. The excellent cinematography took full advantage of the amazing location. One can see why it might've taken so long to cast this film, the cast was pretty spot-on, what a great way to start some film careers for some of these young actors. Sure hope that this one can at least make it to DVD release, it needs to be seen by a wider audience.

Another "5". I know, I'm the Paula Abdul of the Cinema Society. I'm dancing in the aisles. Not only did I like the story and message, but I loved the supporting actors. I especially liked the scenes filmed on the zig-zag stairway. I found the music overpowering, but otherwise it was a fun, different, humorous, delightful film.
