The movie sucks, why just they don't call all those lorenzo bartolini instead of go around the country to meet all of them ??
First, a letter sent with Poste Italiane can't arrive to London in just one day, it's actually impossible. Even a week would be a speed record
She asks a random stranger to bring her back and he brings her to Verona??? 600 km??? Won't he drive her to the train station?? . The guy chases her, goes literally 2 minutes later but he arrives at least one hour later????? Maybe they cut some hilarious scene where he ran out of gas or had a flat tire?
And then, the whole family is called Lorenzo Bartolini? It's illegal in Italy! You can't give your name to your son
5 stars for Gael Garcia Bernal who made a perfect interpretation of his Rodrigo so many years in advance. It's the same, but with food instead of music
Classic movie trope in the end where she thinks his cousin is his girlfriend . It was obvious in the moment she got on the screen.
Solid financial advice in the end: buy alitalia stocks (which at the time, and still now, is bankrupt!)

Ahh, well, who doesn’t love a good ‘enemies to lovers’ trope?? Especially when it’s done with the right amount of chemistry and some heavy dose of teasing between the two love interests! Sophie and Charlie were truly sweet together; they were seemingly polar opposites at first, but after forcibly spending time together, they seem to share similar values and actually get along like a house on fire! I really liked how smitten Charlie looked with Sophie after a certain point; he kind of gave me puppy vibes sometimes, the way he stared at her like she was the sun, the moon and the stars. Anyway, maybe I would have liked slightly more development between these two, but what we got was already pretty good! Perhaps some might call this movie a little sappy, and they wouldn’t be wrong, but I found it mostly charming in this case!
My only two problems with this movie were that Claire and Lorenzo’s love story was a little too ridiculous for me, and I also didn’t quite understand why Sophie was engaged to that annoying, self-absorbed guy for most of the movie; even if she hadn’t met Charlie, why was she even with that guy in the first place??
Regardless, I really enjoyed this movie overall. Although it was somewhat slower paced and a little weird in its dialogue sometimes, it truly was a sweet and romantic movie.
