Plain ol' fun May 19, 2008
This film cannot be called great, profound, or even thought-provoking. It's just plain fun. A romantic comedy attached to a travelogue--or is it the other way round? Its premise is simple and familiar: a group of Americans take a whirlwind, 18-day bus tour of Europe with a young English tourguide.
The central couple, consisting of the late Suzanne Pleshette at her most beautiful, and a cocky but cute Ian McShane as the tourguide, are charming and goo-ily romantic. They have a moonlit makeout scene in a gondola which should elicit wistful sighs from any sentimental sap (like me). The other "satellite" stories include a travel-hating curmudgeon, his postcard-writing wife, and rebellious daughter; a hilariously hapless husband who loses his dippy wife to an all-Japanese tourgroup and spends most of the movie trying to get her back; a WWII vet who seeks out the Italian woman with whom, as a young soldier, he had a brief romantic interlude; and a young single man who hunts his Venetian relatives and gets much more than he bargained for.
There are many cameos along the way, including the great Vittorio de Sica in a charming turn as a Roman shoemaker. And then there's that mop-haired 60s icon Donovan, who sings the oddly melancholy title song and, in a typical hippie party scene, sings an even more melancholy song about, of all things, a girl who fell in love with a swan... Ah, the 60s!
If you like fun and romance (and who doesn't?), and travel, trust me--you'll like this one.
