| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonA good deal soapier and ultimately less satisfying than De Sica's previous collaboration with Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, but it's still effectively heart-rending. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichIt's a scenario that's milked (literally) for every drop of amusement. |
| User ReviewPaul PCan anyone do comedy better than the Italians? Its hard to imagine how that would be possible. |
| User ReviewAles SItalian title: "Matrimonio all'italiana". After this you should see "Divorzio all'italiana" ("Divorce Italian Style"). Great, great, great movie! |
| User ReviewChristina WBest actress ever in the second roll that won her an Oscar nod. |
| User ReviewFiras MEven as an unfeeling prick, Marcello is magnifying! No words can describe Sophia's portrayal of a the strength of love. |
| User ReviewPat MOne of the best foreign films ever. Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni and Vittorio DeSica were all at the height of their careers. A funny, warm, living look into Neopolitan manners. |
| User ReviewHytham EAbsolutely wonderful movie, with laughs, romance, sad stuff, suspense, everything you could ask for. And great cinematography and acting and blah blah blah. Just see it. Sophia Loren is brilliant. Hugely underrated actress. And De Sica is a genius. |
| User ReviewHal FVery Italian. Simply just love it with great casts. |
| User ReviewChristopher Bgood rom-com saw again recently & its still funny |
