I went to the movie primarily because it was set in Italy and I hoped that I would also like the story. All I can say is that it was so much better than I expected. It was a cute, fun story with beautiful scenery. I thought the acting was good and it was so much funnier than I expected too. I know I was not the only one who felt this way because people applauded at the end of the movie which doesn't usually happen for lighthearted romantic movies.
