| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film's saving grace is having the late Pavarotti sing. |
| Associated PressBob ThomasThose who appreciate sentiment, gorgeous photography and full-throated singing will have a treat. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a bad movie, but it would have been a great deal worse were it not for Pavarotti's almost childlike charm. |

| User ReviewJohn CPavarotti's singing was magnificent here, but I blame the casting of Eddie Albert (Green Acres?) and Kathyrn Harrold for the unfortunate lack of success of this film, and the negative critical reaction to it. She looks and acts like an amateur, and there is ZERO chemistry between she and Luciano! Combined with an uneven script and an unnecessary example of the acceptance of adultery (perhaps OK in Europe, but not the USA), not to mention the unfortunate inclusion of Tony Bennett's signature song (opera singers should by and large avoid singing American standards--I mean, "I left my heart in San Fran Seesko....where leetle cable cars?"....PLEASE)! Also, the scene with the Chinese chef couple is almost as offensive as Mickey Rooney's work in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Too bad, as much of the film is absolutely charming, and the song "If We Were In Love" (along with the magnificent scene of air ballooning over the Northern California vineyards) is quite lovely. I recommend the film even with these flaws and I am so grateful it was made. The climatic scene of Turandot is magical and we have all his opera singing and Italian songs forever because it was!? |

| User ReviewDeke POh...my...gosh. What a painful, cheesy, stupid, horrible movie. I found it while flipping channels, and watched it just because of Pavarotti. I'm glad I watched it, because it has fueled me with enough giggles and eye-rolls to get through the week. The plot is stupid, the script is awful, and the acting is horrendous. It kind of feels like a Pavarotti concert with brief acting sketches in between. |
| User ReviewConrad BA gloriously godawful movie that never gets old. A must-see for any aspiring opera singer |
| User ReviewJonathan Athis star vehicle for Pavarotti is thoroughly lacking in all elements of good film making, except for good aerials (and opera, if you count that as a positive...) |
