rent it because i be a sophia loren fan . it obvious that she get the illustrious cast to sign on so her son would have something to do . he be a bad writer and even bad director . no energy at all in the film and lot of dead space and trite camera angle while the woman in the film be colorless and downtrodden and and hopeless . this portrayal of woman be surprising since eduoardo ponti mother be the vivacious sophia loren . the camera angle be especially unflattering to her . what up with that . this film be a complete waste of talent consider the big star in the film . even after the woman make life altering change and they still look weepy and pathetic . the script have every cliché in the book .
