why on earth be colin firth in this pointless film . have he really be that strap for cash . the film isn not clear on what it want to be about and grief . and exotic place . and ghost . and a vehicle for mr darcy . it a muddled and muddy mess . there seem to be some sort of idea that italy must be good and in itself and and that italian have something to offer a a language but in the end the girl just want to go back to yankland . there be pointless episode on the beach and in church and on busy road but what it be all about and or why anybody should care simply isn not clear . there be also a yank woman in the film . it wasn not clear what here job be and but she seem only to be there to make vapid and inappropriate and maudlin comment to the girl . be it suppose to be about paedophillia . a pretty dreadful mess and all in all . i give it 2 rather than 1 because it doesn not have the charm of an utterly ghastly film .
