Little Italy (2018)
7/10
There's Gordon Ramsay & Then you have Olive Garden
17 June 2022
You have Culinary 5 Star Dishes that are amazing. Then you have Olive Garden where the food is ok but it gets you by and that is the best way to describe this movie. It is The Olive Garden of Rom-Coms. It's enjoyable, funny, but it's nothing to breaks new ground or award winning. My Fiancé she wanted to see it so I gave in. In a nutshell childhood bestfriends have feelings and the families have a pizza shop rivalry and thus it keeps them apart in a way.

I always found Emma Roberts attractive so that was a big seller. She was the best part of the movie. Aside from her the families in the movie were very funny in their antics.

The weakest point is the performance from Hayden Christensen his Italian accent felt like the fake cliché Italian gangster movie. It was really unconvincing & honestly annoying. Anyone else would've been better. The chemistry felt forced and almost one sided. The chemistry wasn't really there & blame it mostly Hayden his performance was very 1 dimensional leaving Emma not much to work with.

With this said the movie is still an enjoyable time killer rom-com. I feel it focuses more on the comedy than the romance which works here. So anyone can enjoy just dont go in it looking for oscar performances but just a light, charming, good feel movie, for a night.
