The romantic concept of the film was quite interesting, reuniting lovers decades after their last meeting.
Add the beauty of Italy and a very good cast and the movie had lots going for it.
Unfortunately the production is nothing if bad.
First of all the actors have to fight with poor lines of uninteresting bleak dialogs. And they don't succeed. Gael García Bernal, a great actor, is completely overdoing it, probably to try to salvage his lines, and looks and feels like a third rate actor.
Amanda Seyfried has as many emotion as an ice queen and destroys any doubt one had that Sophie might have a true romantic relationship.
Even powerful and wonderful Vanessa Redgrave can't save the script and her acting falls flat.
Finally I never heard of Christopher Egan before and seeing him perform in this movie makes me want to never hear from him again. He's that bad.
All in all this movie couldn't point with an Italy-loving fan of Bernal and Redgrave with a starry-eyed side. Remarkably disappointing.
