Review – Ex

If this had been a romantic comedy out of Hollywood I think I would have lost patience with it fairly quickly. But this Italian import musters some charm that a smarmy star vehicle would have lacked (though it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see this suffer an American remake). To be sure, it’s still a bit afield of my usual viewing habits. It’s too silly in some spots, too maudlin in others, and the sad story line was a bit too weepy for me. But overall this was quirky, clever, and much more entertaining than I thought it would be. Mildly amusing
