eric-langner After all I have read I almost abandoned watching this movie. But I didn't and I'm grateful for it. I liked it. Of course, the story is predictable, and, of course, it's not the best film ever - BUT: it's entertaining. And it's sincerely done. The actors play authentic, there is nothing over the top, which was probably the most surprising thing. There's certainly charm in it.

adonis98-743-186503 Maggie is an uptight, single mother and college writing teacher from New York City. In an effort to reconnect with her troubled teen daughter Summer, she decides to embark on a journey to a Tuscan village that she frequented in her younger days. Upon arrival, Maggie runs into Luca, a handsome former lover who is still a bachelor and lives with his eighty-year-old mother, Carmen. Summer (missing her "bad boy" boyfriend in NYC) and Carmen (secretly planning a wedding against Luca's wishes to Marcelino, her one true love in Rome) impulsively steal Luca's car and race off to Rome. Maggie and Luca quickly pursue allowing the two mismatched couples to spend some time together and develop a new understanding of each other. Sarah Jessica Parker reaches bottom line with this film, the acting is not that great, her chemistry with her on screen daughter is a gigantic mess, the jokes don't land at all and it's something that we have seen dozens of times before with better actors and better scripts behind them. (0/10)

stbartz Wow, what a sad little mess this is. Just caught it on cable this afternoon, because I'd never heard of it and the cast seemed promising.A story-line so clichéd with characters making stupid choices to advance the ridiculous story along. What a waste of Miss Parker and Miss Cardinale. Is it any wonder that it was never released in the U.S.? Pretty much a mistake for all involved. Raoul Bova remains a very attractive leading man. And the young girl who picks up the daughter in her pick up truck is a dead ringer both physically and vocally of the young Claudia Cardinale. Was this done as an homage deliberately? If so, a nice touch.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a divorced woman who takes her teenage daughter to Italy, in order to find the Italian man who swept her of her feet for two months twenty years ago."All Roads Lead to Rome" is fun to watch because it's a comedy and a romantic comedy in one. The comedy part is the daughter Summer and her moodiness, and the subsequent road trip that leads to much hilarity. The romantic comedy part is quite sweet because there are three different relationships in the film, and viewers will have different evaluations of the three relationships. The last scene is romantic and touching. The scenery is beautiful, and the woman playing the TV journalist is very beautiful as well! It's refreshing to see Sarah Jessica Parker in an entertaining film. I enjoyed watching it.
