Opisy(1)
Robert i jego syn Jack od lat utrzymują kontakt sporadycznie, a jedną z niewielu łączących ich rzeczy jest rodzinna willa w Toskanii. Kiedy Jack wpada w finansowe tarapaty, postanawia odezwać się do ojca i namówić go do sprzedaży domu. Obaj chcą jak najszybciej załatwić sprawę, podpisać odpowiednie papiery i wrócić do swojego życia. Wszystko jednak komplikuje się, gdy na miejscu zamiast pięknego domu, który zapamiętali, zastają kompletną ruinę. Robert i Jack będą musieli spędzić razem więcej czasu niż zakładali i przeprowadzić gruntowny remont, aby sprzedać posiadłość. Wspólne prace idą naprawdę źle, ale zagubionym mężczyznom z pomocą przychodzą mieszkańcy pobliskiego miasteczka, w tym Natalia, właścicielka lokalnej restauracji. (M2 Films)

Made in Italy is a really nicely made film that mixes comic and dramatic elements in appropriate doses. In addition to the beautiful Italian setting and the Southern European atmosphere, the film offers decent performances, which, although somewhat mechanical in a few moments, are grounded for most of the running time, which is certainly helped by the fact that the two main characters are father and son off-screen. I have to admit that at times there was a higher concentration of onion in the cinema, especially in the scenes involving the mother, as I always pictured the tragically deceased Natasha Richardson at that moment. Even though the plot is rather bland with not much to surprise within the genre, it was nice to watch and I have to say that James D'Arcy managed to make his feature debut quite tidy. Plus points for a well written character with Lindsay Duncan's face and the small episodes with the ferret and the workers. A weaker four stars!

The beautiful Tuscan scenery will certainly please many an eye, but it doesn't save this otherwise uninteresting picture, which is a pity, as the realistic basis of the story has some potential. I think what bothers me the most is that most of the scenes that are supposed to be touching don't feel the least bit emotional. I guess there is a bit of romance in this film, but, try all I could, I couldn't find comic moments here. (45%)
