Anyone laughed at this movie?
I didn`t.
shareA few times, mostly during Woody's segments. Parts of the movie were obviously not supposed to be funny.

I was cracking up at Leopoldo's helplessness when accosted by paparazzi, I enjoyed that so much I just wished there was a sequel.
shareWoody Allen cracks me up all the time.
He had the best lines in the film.
ALec Baldwin was pretty funny too, in a more subtle way.
I enjoyed several parts of "To Rome with Love" maybe because I like Italian humor as done by Fellini, Sergio Leone and in films such as "Cinema Paradiso" and "Divorce Italian Style".
I have no problem with subtitled films.
Also, I'm a big Woody Allen fan.
In "To Rome with Love" several parts were funny for me. Besides the moments with Woody and Judy Davis, I found that Alec Baldwin's humor worked.
SPOILERS
I laughed with the young Italian couple after the husband hooked up with Penelope Cruz and the wife got lost.
I enjoyed the cutting satire with Roberto Benigni about reality TV and the gossip media.
And an opera singer in a shower on stage? Loved it.
BB ;-)
it's just in my opinion - imo -
Yes, I roared when Woody said that in real life he can't sing, but "when I'm soaping myself in the shower, I sound just like Eartha Kitt". And, he had a few more zingers that made me chuckle, whether spoken by him or someone else.
You've done some bad things, sweetie.
i laughed throughout the film as well. i really don't understand all of the hate and criticism enclosing this movie. much better than his last two efforts.
the only interconnected story in which i felt was unnecessary for an allen film was the eisenberg/page romance that became more irritating when baldwin's character became the focus of the relationship.
that being said, I hope Allen continues to persuade this kind of direction in his filming career, where he continues to choose romantic european locations.
YES!
shareI did! A lot :-)
shareI did. Many times. When the opera singer in the shower was on stage I couldn't stop.
shareIMO much of the humour was very predictable and rather pedestrian. Woody Allen and Penelope Cruz had the best one liners.
shareI'm glad I'm not the only one who got a laugh out of the shower scenes.
Of course, it was kind of predictable. *But* , it was genius to include couple of those somber scenes (the knifing) because it was just hilarious.
other bits I thought were really funny:
- The lunch scene where Woody insists he's not going to say another word
- pretty much all the scenes with Roberto B
- Several of Baldwin's lines were excellent
- Judy's dialogue about thinking outside the box was great - reminded me of the snappy dialogue from Deconstructing Harry
I first saw this movie while flipping channels on TV and came in just at the beginning of the first performance scene. I had no idea what was going on but when the shower got rolled on to stage I could see the joke coming well in advance. That still didn't stop me from laughing like a drain as soon as the singing started until well after it finished.
The Pagliacci scene too was great the way he kept up the soaping and the scrubbing all the way through.
(Even though I know the reason why people sound better singing in the shower is down to the lack of inhibition and the acoustics. Nothing to do with the water, soap or scrubbing.)
