اچھی فلم!

Honestly, I could have written a better script when I was 12. It's the dialogue that really bugs me, it comes across as what a child thinks conversations sound like. Why do these bad movies keep getting made? And 4 people fall in love because of some sort of spell? It's just as problematic is a love potion. This whole thing in cringe worthy. I want that hour and a half of my life back.

This is a VERY important and unique movie, but there is not space here for me to explain why I think so. If you are interested, search "Guided Viewing of 'All You Ever Wished For' aka. "Smitten!".

Nothing to be taken seriously. It's probably a spoof. Did no one else see a resemblance to Shakespeare? As in Midsummer Night's Dream? Or some of Mozart's comic operas? The plot's as old as history. Just a fun time to while away an hour on a pandemic night at home.

Four men fall under a spell. Two fall for women. One for another man. The third falls for a cow. Left you feeling like you wasted your time watching.

The acting was bad and the story, run-of-the-mill. Great if you just want white noise in the background. You're not going to miss much.

Childish, not really funny, acted in a parossistic (I hope italian actors were playing "bad" actors purpousedly, if not, they should all change job at once!). The messy mixture of stereotypes on Italy and italians could have been funny if correct and intelligently used. On the contrary it is an absurd mix of deep rural south placed in the far north Alps where none of these characters are minimally credible not even for a funny movie. If you do not know anything at all about Italy this can maybe go unnoticed, but otherwise it is like placing Alabama redneck or texan stereotypes in a fishing village of Maine or in Seattle. The story is minimal even for a kid's movie and acting..no comment.. except for american actors and for romanian Loren looking beauty Madalina Ghenea. Only real gorgeous part of this otherwise insignificant, not funny, childish even for children, movie.

Good production values, average actors, juvenile plot. I wonder how do things like this get made???? Yes it was bad on so many levels. But it was not terrible. I doubt I could do better if given 'all the money in the world' , but back to my question, HOW DO THINGS LIKE THIS GET MADE?? Or more importantly why did I watch it, and why did I write a review. ??? I have to assume it is due to the 'Italian tax credit law No. 244 of December 24th 2007'

I believe in LOVE. Its a simple tale of people falling in love with each other at first sight because of spell put on a small village somewhere in the mountains in Italy. Amidst the storm of films being made about the cruel realit of life we forget that all these hardships are our own self created and in the name of being individuals of modern rational minset, nonsense like LOVE has no place in relationships and its all about give and take. This film made me breathe easy and restored my dwindling faith in love i.e., its ok to fall in love, confess it to the one and try to win their heart o matter what. Definately not in the race for an oscar due to over simplicity of plot yet some scenes made my heart fill with joy. The female lead is a spellbinding beauty. Only for the romantics.
