Alec Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, Woody Allen,
Four stories of different happenings in Rome. Three worked, one didn't.
Best: A young newly married Italian couple move from a small Italian town to Rome, where, through a series of mishaps, the husband must pass of a hooker (Penepole Cruz) as his wife and his wife meets up with a movie star in a comedy of errors.
Next best: Woody Allen and are the parents of a young woman whose father-in-law-to-be is a phenomenal opera singer - when he's in the shower.
OK: A know-it-all schmuck wakes up one day incredibly famous and admired. Shortly he discovers he wants his old life back. Then he gets his wish and isn't so sure.
Just didn't do it for me: Alec Baldwin, a famous architect/developer, returns to the Rome he lived in for a year when he as young. He "sits in" on the scenario of a young him (Jesse Eisenberg) giving advise and popping in and out.
