This is my 56th entry in this blog. My first ever post was about Midnight in Paris, a film that I adored. Woody Allen is back with his follow up love letter, To Rome With Love, a film that I liked well enough to tell diehard Woody fans to see it but not enough to recommend it to everyone. Allen hasn't acted in one of his films since Scoop (2006), a film I have not seen. Here he returns to the screen with a flurry of neuroticism and wit. He is joined on screen by Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page and Roberto Benigni*. Although not quite as well as Owen Wilson pulled off in Paris, Eisenberg channels Allen beautifully.
*Benigni's shower scene was the funniest moment in any film I saw all year.
