Sorry if I Want to Marry You (2010)

Wonderful Movie

Pretty Good

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I am very lucky to have watched both "Scusa ma ti chiamo amore" and "Scusa ma ti voglio sposare" yesterday after they were released in 2008 and 2010 respectively. It is such a shame that I hadn't watched them earlier, especially the first one. I am trying to give a review for both, I watched the first yesterday, and was very glad Italy has very good quality in film making, such as this chick flick, and I couldn't wait to see this sequel. To remind you, I am not familiar with Italian, though I learned it some 20 years ago for few days after I had studied Espanol for 2 years at high school. So I always have to count on the subtitles, I hope they did a decent job for their translation so I could give a proper review and afterthought.I recognized Rauol Bova from "Under the Tuscan Sun" who co-starred with Diane Lane, one of my fav actresses since she was very young, but it was my first time to see Michela Quattrociocch, who had a very charming aura from her look and caught my attention as she was such a bellisima from both releases, reminding me of the younger version of Sela Ward, the American actress famous for her roles in "The Fugituve" with Harrison Ford and "CSI:NY".The movie series is all about unorthodox romance, and it centers on one that occurs between a blossomy teenager(17) and a mature and career-successful late 30-something. The discrepancy of age caused some confusion for the guy, but the girl shows such a passion for him, and not surprisingly they ended up being a couple with a happy ending, despite of many difficulties for them to deal with. This kind of issue reminds me of my situation: I used to have a crush on a girl 22 junior my age, but it turned out to be a middle-aged guy's fancy, so I indeed related to that kind of emotion when I watched the movies. Still, it is one of the beautiful things in the world, regardless of being not so realistic in reality.I try not to spoil the fun for this very good romantic story, and I give both a rating of 8 for their being in my heart after the last second.

Alex, who fell in love with Niki when we last saw him, decides he cannot be without her and gets the nerve to propose. Niki, now back studying at the university is not completely sure about how things are going to work out between her and Alex, but decides to give it a chance. The lovers soon move in together. The thing now is to introduce Niki and her family to his parents, who are clearly aristocrats, in sharp contrast with Niki's more down to earth folks.At the same time, Alex's three best friends begin experiencing crises of their own, ending in painful separations. Niki, meets an intense young man, Guido, who likes her. For a while, Niki gets confused about the commitment she is about to go through, getting cold feet at the prospect of making the wrong decision. Even though she had a solid thing going with Alex, she gives Guido a chance with serious consequences.Another Italian 'romcom' from director Federico Moccia, who gave us the 2008 "Sorry, If I Call You Love". The story follow the lovers, Alex and Niki now back in Rome. The film reminded this viewer of some better made movies, more in particular of "Sex in the City" and others of the genre. Director Moccia keeps a frantic pace in the film. The young, attractive cast goes through the motions, but when all is said and done, it did not add anything new to the genre.Raoul Bova is the handsome Alex and Michela Quattrociocche is Niki. They are pleasant actors with a bright future in the Italian cinema. On the other hand, the film does not pretend to be anything but an excuse to spend a couple of hours in the company of attractive people one would not probably ever meet in real life.
