criticism
The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm pointed their thumbs to the side and awarded one of three possible points for humor and eroticism. They wrote: “The German-Italian TV Schmonzette looks like a 50s farce, only without its nostalgic appeal. Pretty images of Rome and the charming Tognazzi (Silver Bear for the direction of 'Bloody Sunday', 1991) make the kitsch just bearable. ”Conclusion:“ Roma aroma meets moth box smell ”
Tilmann P. Gangloff rated the film for tittelbach.tv and gave it 3 ½ out of 6 possible stars. His summarizing verdict was: “'Wedding in Rome' is a fairly conventional romantic comedy, not necessarily full of surprises, but well cast & well acted. Leading actor Matthias Zera is an interesting new face, and Rome is always worth a trip. ”[…] After all,“ Germans are embodied by Germans ”and“ Italians by Italians ”, the critic said. The ensemble is also "a well-put together mixture of old and young". It is also thanks to Matthias Zera's performance that “Max, who was initially a little pale, is increasingly gaining in format”. For the role of the patriarch Vibaldo D'Arcadia, the “producers could have won Ricky Tognazzi”, who is not as well known in this country as his father Ugo , but has “the charisma for this role”. With Krassnitzer there is “the right counterpart” on the German-speaking side, the two actors would “complement each other magnificently”. The director staged the film as "light entertainment, but highly professional". [...] "The Palazzo in the heart of Rome" is "a splendid setting".
The film service stated succinctly: a romantic (television) comedy that is not very original, but at least purposefully tells of the relativity of wealth in the face of love. - From 14.
