Moonstruck director Norman Jewison successfully mines the same territory with this delicious “Cinderella Italian-style” romantic comedy. Following the prophecy of a childhood Ouija game, Pittsburgh schoolteacher Marisa Tomei runs out on her wedding and goes to Rome to find the man of her dreams. There she meets shoe salesman Robert Downey Jr, who may or may not fit the bill. The pairing of Tomei and Downey Jr works like a charm: both inject scintillating substance into an unashamedly lightweight affair through their winning chemistry. Billy Zane is also on hand to provide a neat twist in the tale, and the lush Italian scenery will have you changing your holiday plans to head for the idyllic town of Positano.

"...Esteemed cinematographer Sven Nykvist splashes the screen with silvery moonlit lanes, sloping seaside vistas and a sunset that bursts apart like a flaming orange..." -- 3 out of 4 stars

Perfect!
This is the nicest romcom you are likely to see. It's wonderfully romantic, very funny, endearing to the final scene, and set in some of the most beautiful locations in Italy. Marisa Tomei does a great job, Robert Downey even better, and the on-screen chemistry is apparent throughout. Billy Zane's hilarious brief appearance alone makes the movie worth a watch. The plot is simple yet unexpected and will have you glued to your seat till the very end. Brilliant.

frothy, light and enjoyable
Not the most intellectually stimulating of films but perfect for when your in the mood for something a little predictable but nonetheless funny and heartwarming. Good performances throughout. The twists aren't exactly hard to spot but if you just relax and go with the flow its good fun.
