Purely Joyful Movie!

Great Film overall

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This was just a fun movie. But it was a well-made, fun movie that didn't drag at any point. However I must provide a few caveats: I have been to Greece on many occasions and stayed on Santorini for a little over a month. So I loved re-living that time through this film. I think they captured the lazy-island-feel that Santorini can have, as well as its beauty. The older film, "Summer Lovers" probably did the scenery a little bit better, but this was a much better film.The story is fun too and this was a pleasant surprise because I was satisfied with the scenery and the neurotic female characters, but the story came through and that made it a movie that I could actually recommend to more people. Give it a look if you are a female and especially if you have been to Santorini.

This movie was very good. I watched it a few weeks ago and couldn't help myself from watching it again last night. I love the way that they portray Italian's. Free, crazy, loving, confused... all the things that people truly are. Here in America we tend to forget that people in other countries are just that... people... this shows a lot about men and the way they are with women. at first, the ex wouldn't even look at the niece, but then, after her persistence, he gives in, even giving her a kiss on her cheeks when she shows up the one day. i also love the way the family is together. when megghy finds out who he is at her b-day party, she grabs the aunt by her hair and goes to knee her in the face. it is just funny how expressive Italian's are... i should know... my mother was born in Italy...

The film is full of beautiful scenery and a fun, though sorta out-of-place soundtrack (mainly consisting of upbeat Indian music...which doesn't really go with the language OR the location, but is fun nonetheless). The 14 year old girl was sort of painful to watch...mostly because she was on the borderline between "awkward" and "kinda cute". The whining got old after a while though.I LOVED the last scene though. Enough said. Go see it if you want to know what I mean.Overall it was a cute film.I'd give it somewhere between a 6 and a 6.5

In this almost-consistently funny Italian comedy, a 14-going-on25 teen (think a more naive 1st season Meadow Soprano without the smirk and an additional 20 lbs.) ditches her Girl Scout troop to bond with her 30 yr "old" aunt, who is still obsessing full-time about the breakup of her 8yr romance. Teen cons aunt into going to Cycladies, Greece (the party capital of the Mediterranean, from the looks of things). Identity mix-ups, almost-sexual escapades abound, but will true love work out in the end? And would a bollywood dance number be appropriate?We get a little too much of the sex-obsessed teen, and a little too little of the gorgeous "old maid", but the movie pulls you along in its quest. The world needs to see more of Stefania Montorsi, a delightful screen presence.
