I almost gave this film a Good rating; however, I decided my general disappointment merited the lowest rating despite the film’s (few) redeeming qualities.
Three main reasons for my dissatisfaction: a) a glacial pace of development; b) unconvincing, uninspired acting by all involved; and c) a never-ending, boring, tired stream of clichés. This last point can hardly be overstated. I had never rolled my eyes so many times during a film before.
Redeeming qualities: beautiful locale, and some decent cinematography.
Rating: Avoid.

A tale of love, greed, fidelity, and commitment, this enjoyable comedy slowly weaves the viewer in its web, until he finds himself on the edge of his seat, intrigued and entertained. Based on a play by Oscar Wilde, it contains the expected wit, social critique, clever dialogue and likeable characters. It is set in a gorgeous Italian town, complemented by beautiful photography.
Even Scarlett Johansson’s lack of talent can’t derail this film.
Rating: Very Good.
