SOMETIMES FIRST LOVE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE…
American Maggie Falk (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her teenage daughter Summer (Rosie Day) arrive in Rome on vacation, but Summer is determined to escape back to the U.S. and save her no-good boyfriend from jail. The Swedish director’s first English-language movie is a romantic comedy that typically looks like the kind of project that international filmmakers get stuck with when they come to Hollywood. If you like Italy and the charms of Claudia Cardinale, this might be worth a look… but it’s far too formulaic and laugh-free.
2016-U.S. 90 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Ella Lemhagen. Cast: Sarah Jessica Parker (Maggie Falk), Rosie Day (Summer Falk), Raoul Bova (Luca), Claudia Cardinale (Carmen), Paz Vega, Marco Bonini.
