FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Amy Adler Maggie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a divorced college professor in Manhattan. So, her marriage struck out. Now, she is having serious trouble with her 17 year old daughter, Summer (Rosie Day). Summer has chosen a bad boy for a boyfriend and Maggie is at her wit's end trying to discourage her offspring. Finally, in desperation, she drags Summer away to Italy, for maybe an ocean will work wonders, Besides that, Maggie was once a grad student in Tuscany and she wants to revisit a time of happiness. But, ho, what memories indeed. Almost at once, Mags runs into Luca (Raoul Bova), a former flame, who still lives the single life in the country, caring for his 80 year old Mother (Claudia Cardinale). There's electricity in the air between the two who once loved each other. While they are engaging themselves in conversation, Summer steals a car to head back to Rome for a jet plane back home. Riding shotgun is Luca's Mama who wants to meet her fiancé in Rome to get married once and for all. This is against Luca's wishes. The two fugitives find they have much in common and bond quickly while Maggie and Luca speed off to get them back. Will love grow again on a journey to Rome for the one- time lovers? This lovely romantic comedy has so many assets. The cast is great, with Parker always an engaging performer and Bova just a doll. Day and Cardinale are terrific also as the delinquents. Then, what could be more beautiful than the Italian Tuscany, with its put your eyes out glory? With a funny script that is a mixture of languages and a tireless direction, this trip is well worth taking. Romcom fans, all roads lead to enjoyment if you make the trip to find this nice little flick.

leonblackwood Review: I'm usually a suckered for an emotional Rom-Com but this film really wasn't that good. Sarah Jessica Parker is more annoying than funny and her daughter Summer, played by Rosie Day, just didn't have any respect for her mother or any adults whatsoever. The storyline also went from one extreme the next and I lost interest as soon as Maggie (Sarah Jessica Parker), threw her daughters iPhone out of the car window so she wouldn't receive calls from her boyfriend. When they finally reach the remote Tuscan village, were Maggie previously fell for the dashing Luca (Raoul Bova), she tries to bond with Summer but she just wants to go back to NYC to be with her boyfriend. Summer then decides to steal Luca's car and make her way back to the airport but Luca's eighty year old mother, Carmen (Claudia Cadinale) needs to get to her secret wedding, against her sons wishes, so she jumps in the car with Summer and they make there way to Rome. When Maggie realises that they have escaped in Luca's car, they take chase, to try and stop them in there tracks. That's the main concept of the story but of course, Maggie and Luca fall in love, which really wasn't that surprising, and Summer causes trouble along the way. I wasn't expecting too much from this movie because I don't really rate Parker as an actress. The script also was really poor and the silly situations that Maggie and Summer get themselves in, just became ridiculous after a while. Anyway, I wasn't a big fan of this film and I'm not surprised that it didn't go down well audiences around the world. Disappointing!Round-Up: Sarah Jessica Parker, 51, first hit the big screen in 1984, in the hit movie Footloose and she started to make a name for herself with films like Girls Just Want To Have Fun, L.A. Story, Honeymoon in Vegas, Striking Distance, Hocus Pocus, Ed Wood, First Wives Club and Mars Attacks but it was Sex and the City that made her an household name. After two hit movies from the series and the lead in The Family Stone and Failure To Launch, she hasn't really taken on many projects. The movies that she has taken on, have been really poor and her range, in terms of acting skills, are pretty small so this movie was a disaster from the beginning. It was directed by Ella Lemhagen who has made 11 movies for the Swedish market, which haven't really been heard of. I personally think that it's going to take a very well written movie for Parker to come out of the Sex and the City bubble because her career hasn't progressed since the hit series became popular around the world.I recommend this movie to people who are into their comedies starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Raoul Bova, Rosie Day, Paz Vega and Claudia Cardinale. 2/10

Tony Heck "A woman takes what she wants, when she wants it." Maggie (Parker) is starting to lose touch with her daughter Summer (Day). In an effort to reconnect they take a trip to Italy. Maggie sees this as a bonding experience but Summer sees it as punishment and is worried about her boyfriend who she left. When Maggie reconnects with a former love it only enforces Summer's desire to return home and she takes a car, and a grandma, and will stop at nothing to fly home. Maggie will stop at nothing to stop her. This is really not that bad of a movie. Generic and formulaic but still worth seeing and I actually enjoyed watching this. The movie is pretty predictable but it is a romantic comedy so that is to be expected. In terms of chick-flicks I have seen worse and while this is nothing super outstanding it was better than I was expecting and I laughed quite a bit. Overall, nothing original or unexpected but still worth your time. Much better than I was expecting. I give this a B.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a divorced woman who takes her teenage daughter to Italy, in order to find the Italian man who swept her of her feet for two months twenty years ago."All Roads Lead to Rome" is fun to watch because it's a comedy and a romantic comedy in one. The comedy part is the daughter Summer and her moodiness, and the subsequent road trip that leads to much hilarity. The romantic comedy part is quite sweet because there are three different relationships in the film, and viewers will have different evaluations of the three relationships. The last scene is romantic and touching. The scenery is beautiful, and the woman playing the TV journalist is very beautiful as well! It's refreshing to see Sarah Jessica Parker in an entertaining film. I enjoyed watching it.
