I liked the movie a lot, too. For her first film, Nicoletta Romanoff did incredibly well as the vapid, completely egocentric sister, and it was a joy to watch her on screen, as well as the rest of the talented cast. But, although, I liked the film, it reminded me a bit too much of "L'Ultimo Bacio" as far as the husband's "crisis." From what I've seen so far, Gabriele Muccino definitely has a style as far as the fast-paced fluidity of the film, and it lends itself well to storylines like these, but I'd like to see him stretch himself a bit more. "Pursuit of Happyness" is due out in 2006, and I'm eager to see what he comes up with.
