A remake of "Roman Holiday" will be filmed in Rome and an unknown woman is chosen to play the lead. Once in Rome, she meets a reporter/porter/waiter/aspiring novelist, who gets the exclusive story on her. Roman romance?
| I like it. I don't know if everyone would like it, but I do.
Yes, Italia Ricci is no Audrey Hepburn, but she's definitely in a class of her own. I like her chemistry with Peter Porte, and for me they look very beautiful together.
I remember people talking negatively about Jen Lilley's baby bump(I have a very different opinion about that), but I don't think they would do the same with Italia.
The nice thing about this movie based on Anita Hughes novel of the same title is that it's more of a story between a simple ordinary woman with great talent and personality and a blocked writer...yes, they are filming a remake, but it's not really the remake per se, so I guess comparing it with the classic that catapulted Ms. Hepburn's career with awards to boot would be pointless.
The Academy inevitably missed a few gems for 2021 Best Picture nominees. Here are some great movies worth streaming that you won't see at the Oscars this year.
