deejay_whitegrass From what I've read of the other reviews this film does not live up to the expectations of the book. May I recommend another film (Spanish, not Italian) under a similar title. Tres metros s o b r e el c i e l o/ Three steps above the sky/ Three meters above the sky. The love story is beautifully portrayed with very real and believable characters. It's definitely worth the watch. Plus, the lead couple are incredibly cute. The main characters are not simply characters who come from a privileged life or a sketchy background. They are more complicated than that which allows viewers to able to relate to them on various levels. There is more to their stories and their true colors are slowly shown throughout the film, just enough to play the emotions of the viewer and to make the viewers empathize with the characters. The film gives you a little bit of everything you look for in a good romance film: laughter, love, life, danger, action, thrill, and a poignant ending. An ending which makes you look back on your own life and wonder if you've found or will ever find the kind of love that too will take you Tres metros s o b r e el c i e l o.(It was necessary to type the Spanish words for "above/steps" and "sky" with spaces in between in order to submit this review as the system does not recognize them.)

litoral_bengos One of the most beautiful movies i have ever seen...it's true it's a chick flick but who cares when you have Riccardo Scarmacio with his piercing green eyes? If you're in search for a typical romantic story set in an Italy breathtakingly beautiful, then go for it. Leave behind all misconceptions, preconceptions, get rid of the idea that the movie isn't as valuable as the book ( in case you read it ) and succumb in love's magical power. If you wanna laugh, cry and above all, dream, then this is the movie for you. If you like movies that require a second thought and a second viewing, then skip this one. 3msc doesn't require much of a thinking, what it does, nonetheless, require is a free mind and an endless power of dreaming with the eyes wide open. The love story between a bad boy ( the dream of every teenage girl )and a kinda nerd young girl mostly attracts adolescent viewers. But this movie is about the journey towards love through the eyes of 2 different people, one belonging to a high social class, and the other struggling to do everything to escape from his world, from an attitude of revolt to illegal motorcycles racings. The movie has everything what a movie for teenagers should have:excitement, adrenalin, adventure, the illusion that the love conquers all and 2 young and promising protagonists. All in all, give this movie a shot and you won't be disappointed.

lorirom "Tre metri sopra il cielo" is a really beautiful love story with an European stamina. I really recommend this movie if you plan a romantic evening. Babi seems a bit nerdy and a little too young, but the scenario is great and it will capture you right from the beginning. Also, the end of the movie is very European. Step is the dream of every adolescent girl: he is handsome, he likes to live on the edge and he rides a great motorcycle. Let's hope that the movie can be seen also in other countries than Italy and I'm expecting the sequel "Ho voglia di te". Italians have great food, great movies and talented actors. Enjoy the movie!

yes_i_am84 I walked out of the cinema in which "Tre metri sopra il cielo" had just been shown with mixed feelings. At an immediate level, I was pleased to have seen a nice teenager flick, well acted by promising young people, a captivating story, and so on. But when I discussed the film later with my friend, I found myself to be somewhat angered. Like they had made a fool out of myself.POSSIBLE SPOILERS: 3MSC is about the world of teenagers in Rome, and the juxtaposition of two worlds: Babi's (a good student, a perfect daughter, a virgin dreaming of a Blue Prince) and Step's (a violent boy, doing anything of his life except earning some illegal money at clandestine motorcycle races, even if he is the son of a rich man). Despite all their differences, the two young people end up falling in love (of course). And of course all their differences will bring Heaven and Hell, moments of joy but lots of troubles in their relationship. Fine. Nothing very original, but it's soooo difficult do produce original flicks nowadays! What worries me a bit (and the reason of my little anger) is "what lies beneath", the thesis of the film: it is obvious that you are supposed to sympathise with Step. Babi's world is fake, full of formal habits that make the lives of this upper-class family empty. Step's life, on the contrary, is the adventure, the excitement, the way to experience the new. This is the film's thesis. But this, even with my 20 years of age and my being a sinistrorse, I can't accept. Nothing could ever convince me that I have to stay on the side of someone who always solves the troubles he faces by beating everyone; who steals; who thinks that the better way to obtain something is to shout louder than the other people around him. No, I won't accept it even if this someone is twenty, has green eyes, a fine smile (when nobody has beaten him in return) and a handsome physical appearance. No, I'm sorry. And I'm sorry because a lot of 14-year-old girls will see this film and walk out of the cinema with an innocent smile on their faces thinking "THIS is the guy I WANT TO MEET in my life". And at this delicate age, this is quite dangerous. That's why I was angered.I don't want, saying this, to destroy totally this film. As I said, at an immediate level you can actually enjoy a story not very original, but finely shot,&acted by two young actors (Riccardo Scamarcio and Katy Louise Saunders) we'll see often in the future. The important thing, if you are a 12-to-19 person, is not to get badly influenced by what I told before. An average flick? Sure. But a "Film of Cultural Interest" (as they say at the beginning of the film)? A "Cult"? (as on the first page of the book on which the film is based)? Please. Italian cinema nowadays offers far better.
