Little Italy (2018)
6/10
Super Cheesy Rom Com
28 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
PROS I liked the relationship between the two leads and was rooting for them.

The film is one of the few mainstream Hollywood movies to actually be set in Toronto.

CONS The overall story of rival pizza shops right beside each other, and Romeo and Juliet similarities was kind of ridiculous. As were the scenes involving a soccer game, marijuana in pizza, and a pizza bake off competition.

Hayden Christenson was too old vs. Emma Roberts, he spoke with a weird Italian accent sometimes.

Hayden Christenson getting sexually assaulted by a female police officer is played for laughs in a weird reverse #MeToo moment.

Too much blatant product placement (Air Canada and Starbucks).

Lots of Rom Com clichés, like ending with the airport scene where everyone has to publically declare their love for each other.
