leplatypus The movie tells the funny story of a Gigolo who falls in love for the sister of his future wife. As he is Machiavellian (and a bit coward, too), he doesn't tell the truth and imagines a fake brother. I let you imagine all the quirky situations.The cast answers the expectations, because each actor seems the right one for the part and their performance are great: Banderas as a seductive, Hannah as a poetic lover,… But, the narration is laborious. I waited 30 minutes to feel the movie really paced, and the ending is very much thrown away. The subplots (his father, the crooks) are uninteresting because not really funny so they tend to break the rhythm.I imagine it is due to a "bad" adaptation. Indeed, the original story is a book and the literary language is very different from the movie language.In conclusion, an enjoyable movie that you will won't watch again for a time, except on a DVD to skip on particular chapter.

preston8 The basic plot of this made-for-TV movie has been done several times before, making it very predictable and not that funny. Antonio Banderas looks best without his clothes, which is about the only appeal that this actor has... The rest of the cast is instantly forgettable...like the film itself.

Italy-Wedding *The cast: Antonio Banderas : Art / Bart DodgeDaryl Hannah: Liz KernerMelanie Griffith: BettyJoan Cusack: Gloria Eli Wallach: Sheldon*The story: Art Dodge is an art swindler. He looks at the death announcements in the papers. At the day of the funeral, thên he goes to the family and says that the dead person had bought a painting of him a few weeks before he died. At that moment, he meets Betty a rich woman who divorced the same man twice. They fall in love with each other, but love becomes complicated when Art meets Betty's sister... he is deeply in love with her too. So he decides to transform himself in Bart (his twin brother) and then you get some humoristic moments, which aren't very funny at some moments. Sheldon is the father of Art. Joan Cusack is the employee of Art.An interesting note is that Melanie and Antonio fall in love on the set, and they married and had 1 child, Stella Banderas. *Appreciation: This film is too confusing and although Daryl Hannah played her part wonderfully, the film has something of a disaster. Although the actors did their best to make a comedy. A catastrophe occurredBut don't forget that alL these actors had done some wonderful acting. Some examples; Melanie Griffith: Cecil B. Demented -- Daryl Hannah: Steel Magnolias -- Antonio Banderas: Philadelphia and Eli Wallach: the Misfits.Sadly they made this time a wrong choice... Mostly I like the movies that I saw and on the whole I give good comments about them. But this time I can only say that this film was a big disappointment and I hoped that it would have finished quickly. However I didn't lose my faith in the actors because it was just the wrong script that didn't work. Rating: 5,5 /10

nz man You will especially like this film if you are fans of Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith and Daryl Hannah. Nothing creative or unique, just good fun and nice eye candy for all to enjoy. You could probably drive down the road and get the milk and cereal for tomorrow's breakfast, while the movie is still running back home, and not miss much...but hey, this is just a comedy for a few laughs.
