Stay Home from "To Rome with Love," Woody Allen's latest film

I fell in love last year with "Midnight in Paris," one of Woody Allen's witty comedies and ode to the beauty of Paris.  In fact, Allen is as famous for his humor as he is for paying homage to some of the greatest cities in the world, THE BIG APPLE, London, Paris - so how did he drop the ball with all the charm and romance of Rome? He has too many ridiculous story lines going on; the perfidity of fame with Roberto Benigni (Academy Award Winner for Life is Beautiful,) the staging of an opera where the tenor can only perform while singing onstage in the shower. And not least,  Alec Baldwin giving sage advice to his younger personna, Jesse Eisenberg, with the gimmick of being in the scene where he doesn't belong.  The scenes where Allen resorts to his neurotic self are still hilarious, especially when played off his screen wife, Judy Davis.  Is Baldwin entertaining? Si.  Is Davis blithely cynical and adept at putting Allen in his place?  Si.  Does Academy Award Winning Actress, Penelope Cruz make it impossible to divert your eyes off her when on screen?  Si, molto bella.  But, if you like this movie you are an IMBECILE!
