... View MoreTerrible acting, screenplay and direction.
... View MoreA bit overrated, but still an amazing film
... View Moreit is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
... View MoreI found this movie, the third of a series, a bit underdone...let down by De Niro and saved by Verdone and Scamarcio. If there's one thing I can't stand it's that so called "great" actors like De Niro are not able to even learn a few words in Italian. Yes he's supposed to be American (even though he's a professor haha) but in real life as in the movie, his lack of the language ability just adds to my low expectations of him. This overrated actor almost killed the movie.
... View MoreI eagerly waited for this movie to come out as I knew about De Niro's part in it, and I was not disappointed with the results. The Ages Of Love or Manuale D'Amour is a movie that shows picturesque passages of Italy thus letting the audience mix with the story in a still, yet amusive plot that is prompt of sweet, credible and comic relationships. It is a film which contains interesting stories and shows De Niro's versatility proving again the actor's will and ability to transform himself into different characters while showing a new side of the actor, that I myself, having seen most of his works, have never seen before. Perfect for a calm afternoon if you're willing to relax and have a good time.
... View MorePleasant surprise! The director Giovanni Veronesi presents us with a film with a format already used in films directed by other directors, but with a unique sense of humor ... When the story moves toward mawkishness, Veronesi immediately "speaks to us", "Hey, you're watching a comedy, remember?" And then in a matter of seconds the laughter comes spontaneous, magical ... In my opinion, Carlo Verdone and Donatella Finocchiaro give us a real "show" the interpretation! Magnificent two with the episode number two! Robert De Niro once again shows that it is an extremely versatile actor ... His strip is comic and the comic actor knows to be dosed ridicule ... And Monica Belucci? Beautiful, lush mature at the age ... ready to be "harvested" with a seductive aspect ... Cinematography made with care and that captures the atmosphere and Italian ... On a scale of 1 to 10, vote is 9.
... View MoreA truly wonderful film and not the typical romantic comedy. a film to see and talk about after you seen it. De Niro is, as most of the time, superb, and all the Italian actors are good as well.I was very skeptic to the film since I had heard nothing of it, but I find it even better than "love actually" that is a similar film.SPOILER ALERT: there are some fantastic scenes in the film; among others De Niro striptease, but the true greatness is in the dialog and the (maybe) new perspective you will have on love, cheating, honesty and a lot more things that concerning living. I would truly recommend this film for everyone to see, maybe young people wont appreciate it as much as 25+ but its still a funny film.
