Leave your thoughts about Love in the Villa.
| The A.V. ClubIan SpellingAdmittedly, this film is to romantic comedies what Olive Garden is to Italian cuisine. But like a bowl of pasta the size of your head and unlimited breadsticks, sometimes copious portions of something completely straightforward manages to deliver exactly the experience you want. |
| VarietyCourtney HowardLove in the Villa’s building blocks may be as phony and manufactured as that balcony, but romantics will assuredly see and feel that the sentimental thematic resonance surrounding love and destiny comes from a genuine place. |
| Screen RantBrittany WitherspoonLove in the Villa may be a silly rom-com at heart, but with Graham and Hopper’s compelling chemistry, leaning into the ridiculousness and unrealistic moments is worth it for these two alone. |

| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayJulie and Charlie make a winning couple, which goes a long way toward making Love on the Villa watchable. But they’re so boxed-in by the movie’s clichés, their love affair rarely gets the chance to breathe. |
| The GuardianAdrian HortonLove in the Villa is feel-good, not try-hard. Nothing ever rises to the level of unwatchable, but nothing has any distinctive staying power, either – you may catch the whiff of romance here and there, like passing by a bakery storefront, which constitute the most alluring shots of the movie. |
| User ReviewTVJerryKat Graham plays a school teacher who's obsessed with Romeo & Juliet and has dreamed of visiting Verona, where the play took place. When she arrives in Italy, turns out that her rental villa has been double-booked by a handsome young Brit (Tom Hopper). Thus begins a completely predictable romance: First they hate each other, then they become friends, then it gets serious, then they end it, then they come back together. Yawn. The writing isn't especially clever and the direction is traditional. The only things that set this film apart are the lovely locations and Hopper's quietly comic performance. Graham is fine, but she lacks any spark to make it a standout. For those who like a good "beach read," this pleasant but trite tale might suffice. |
