  Fun overwhelmed by stupidity
  
  Fun and entertaining first half gives way to ridiculously stupid second half. Worth a watch, but don't expect much from this film.

  Falls flat- David Tennant version much better
  
  Not worth watching! Heath Ledger is not right nor believable as Casanova and quite frankly, for a movie about the worlds greatest lover it is too tame! Casanova... read more »

  Fun-filled romp
  
  Not Oscar worthy, but still a really funny, high spirited film to relax with. Heath Ledger and Sienna Miller play very convincing roles. Well worth a watch.

  Really my cup of tea!
  
  I found it quite charming and so romantic - really my cup of tea. It has well known stars, a good story to it and it's hilarious.

  Nowhere near as good as David Tennant
  
  I get the feeling Heath Ledger was relaxing on this film shoot - it is very light weight, but enjoyable despite this. His accent is very odd. Ok once, but ... read more »

  It was Okay
  
  Fun film to watch, and although I enjoyed it, it was nothing compared to the BBC version of the tail of Casanova starring David Tennant.

  Costume drama meets farce
  
  The first half was funny, but it unfortunately took a turn for the worse and descended into farce.
