The 2012 Woody Allen film stars, among others, Allen, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Judy Davis, Roberto Benigni, Ellen Page, Greta Gerwig, and Jesse Eisenberg. Set in the Eternal City, it tells the intertwining stories of different couples who live in, love, and are affected by the city. Although the critics aren't being terribly kind to it, the film is definitely one of the funnier Allen films I've seen. There are many genuine laugh-out-loud moments. Although there are plenty of characters and story lines, they all feel fresh and are all very entertaining. Though last year's Midnight in Paris was more rich in history and culture, there is still plenty to like in this year's charmer. Allen's writing is as on point as ever here.
Should you see it: Yes
