"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.

Please, can anyone stop Sarah Jessica Parker from speaking Italian, French or any other foreign language?

Cute little storyline with unexpected detours. Amusing enough. Cutes. No complaint.

Wow, what a sad little mess this is. Just caught it on cable this afternoon, because I'd never heard of it and the cast seemed promising.

A story-line so clichéd with characters making stupid choices to advance the ridiculous story along. What a waste of Miss Parker and Miss Cardinale. Is it any wonder that it was never released in the U.S.? Pretty much a mistake for all involved. Raoul Bova remains a very attractive leading man. And the young girl who picks up the daughter in her pick up truck is a dead ringer both physically and vocally of the young Claudia Cardinale. Was this done as an homage deliberately? If so, a nice touch.

No need to give away plot points, since the whole story is absolutely predictable from start to finish. But the way it is peppered with implausible elements, almost offensive sterotypes and clichés, and a totally uninspired direction, make this movie bearable to watch only if you can enjoy unvoluntarily embarrassing, silly moments and scenes. None of the actors seem interested in what they are doing; both Sarah Jessica Parker ad Raoul Bova, elsewhere charming, make you wonder what's even remotely interesting or attractive in the characters the play. And it's quite painful to watch Claudia Cardinale delivering a grotesquely bad acted performance. Close to "so bad, it's good"; alas, it's just bad.

I'm not sure much effort went into this. The characters are unlovable and annoying, the plot is weak and 50% of the dialogue is un-subtitled Italian. (I understand we don't have to know what is always being said, but it's such a pointless movie that it could be argued nobody needed a speaking part!)

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.

After all I have read I almost abandoned watching this movie. But I didn't and I'm grateful for it. I liked it. Of course, the story is predictable, and, of course, it's not the best film ever - BUT: it's entertaining. And it's sincerely done. The actors play authentic, there is nothing over the top, which was probably the most surprising thing. There's certainly charm in it.

This is handleable to watch when you're in the mood to half-watch something. I watched it half whilst working and still followed it, without subtitles when there's odd conversations in Italian - it's that empty and predictable. I love SJP so I am really disappointed in this. Every bit was predictable, I guessed the relations, the start, middle and outcome. The soundtrack is appalling. It's actually the first thing that put me off the film. And I can't believe that I heard the girl's tattoos being described and defended, in 2016! I'm reviewing it with about 10 minutes left - and I know how it's going to end. Don't bother until it comes on TV and you're hung over or sick and worried about falling asleep in front of the box - because you won't miss anything.

I was fast forwarding within 2 minutes of the film start and when I saw the car they picked up at the airport I knew I wouldn't make it to the end.no real chemistry between cast very poor script, as a Rom com I felt it was worse than a hallmark Xmas special.at least my 85 year old mother was delighted that she had aged better than Claudia Cardinale so extra point for that.

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.

Hard to believe the script made it to production. Silly and implausible. Two stars because it's good to see Claudia Cardinale on screen again.

I can't imagine how this was passed over by the Oscars. One seldom gets to experience this level of acting and writing (thankfully).

I purchased this DVD because it was filmed in Rome, a city I love and adore.

But the shots of Rome don't make up for this movie's shortcomings. First, there is no one in this film to care about. No one. Sarah J. P. plays such a poor parent that it's impossible to believe much less care about. Second, the plot is so simple and cliche ridden that it could have been written by a high school student. Third, S. J. P. Is old enough to be the male leads mother. Fourth, she can't ACT, but she does mimic a teenage girl shaking her head and tossing her hair well. Fifth, it will break your heart to see Claudia Cardinale in this film.

Although I wanted to see the scenes shot in Rome, I had to stop the film before it ended. It was just too painful. If I put it on ebay for 50 cents, do you think anyone would buy it?

To those who made this tripe, we pass gas in your general direction. Thanks for ruining Rome and confirming that SJP is one of the most annoying actresses ever to darken a stage. Motivation of various characters were nonsensical and characters were impossible to like or root for. I found myself wanting SJP's character and her onscreen daughter to be arrested and sent to one of those people broker parties where they would be sold to an Albanian traveling carnival.

Horridly disgusting and unwatchable. Had I hopped up on my dear old ma's kitchen sink, as one does, squatted down and evacuated a pile of buttsludge out of my back door sausage machine after my morning coffee, it would have stank less than this

If you watch this, I'll be disappointed in your ability to make responsible choices.

This is an absolutely dreadfully terrible film. I'm not just hating on it because it's a cheesy rom com. By the end, my wife and I were chuckling because of how terrible it was.

The only thing that could have made this film better is if Tommy Wiseau actually played the part of Luca. That would have made the whole thing make sense.

Sarah Jessica Parker clearly owed someone a big giant favor, or she she was so bored with her life and getting no work that she took this part out of desperation.

I gave it 1 star because there was no minus choice.

It's like everyone of SJ's movies, she's winey, plays with her hair a lot and in general is horrid.

I watched it because I thought the scenery might be great - even that wasn't great, , , , and it's Italy, how hard is it not to be great? None of it was worth the time.

I had never heard of this movie but Sarah Jessica Parker and Raoul Bova are a promising actors so started watching on impulse without reading about reviews.

First delight - wow Italy! Coz Italy was one of the last countries I visited before the pandemic. I loved watching Italian roads as they rode from airport.

Next, I expect it to be a clichéd travel movie. I mean how different can it be right? But it was very refreshing. One movie giving the delight, adventures of 2 roadtrips! It's full value for the time being spent !

The way Candy and Summer connect with each other during the roadtrip, irrespective of their age and background difference, is great and is carried out very organically. Whereas the reconnecting of Maggie and Luca, who were ex-flames is absent. Their chemistry is almost hurriedly shown in the end.

How they manage to draw Italian-English conversations is very nice and rustic. Loved the vespa, Italian villa, red alfa, Italian accent, the vegetables vehicle, it definitely took me back to Tuscany. Nicely crafted movie ❤

This movie suffers from a lack of believable acting and a sorry script.

Sarah Jessica Parker is just awful. A lot of her dialogue is repeating what someone just said, as if she's more stupid than she normally is.

I didn't recognize Claudia Cardinale. She and Bridgette Bardot have not aged well. I guess it's better to die young so you're always remembered that way (Marilyn Monroe, Natale Wood).

There should be much more problem communicating since neither the mother or daughter understand much Italian. Out of the blue, when they can't get what the Italian is saying, the Italian switches to fairly perfect English. Have an issue with this, particularly when they're out in the countryside.

All type of woke comments during the film plus bad acting and even worse storyline. Perhaps the worst rom comedy yet. It was bas from the beginning. How sad that fun dialogue and interesting moments are a thing of the past.

Filmed in Italy, I enjoyed the scenery, landscapes and Italian characters. Other than that the film's plot development is weak and choppy. Soundtrack is all over the place totally lacking a theme or continuity.

The movie begins with Sara Jessica Parker saying that Italy is corrupt. She says that right at the outset. Who wrote this script and what country in the world would accept that.

It's not a good movie, it's too dumb. It is a romantic comedy with little comedy and also with little romanticism. The plot is bad and pointless. I can't rescue anything, it's not even well acted.

How hard is it to keep a character's hair a consistent color? If you are going to do pink hair, then do pink hair. Summer's hair went from barely pink to faded pink to bright pink all in a matter of 30 minutes. Very distracting and annoying. Movie overall was kind of dumb.
