Let me preface this saying I like all genres of movies including the occasional chck-flicks/Romcoms. I have indulged in almost all these types of movies out there; the warm feeling ones, the quirky ones, the funny ones, you name it. But this was a mess in character development and plot.
Marisa's character is so unlikable that the word doesn't do the meaning justice. So this girl has a wedding coming up, is getting MARRIED and just then decides to remember the destiny because of a phone call. Other than the ouji and fortune teller not making any sense whatsoever (unless this movie is somehow a fantasy movie or something...) and being thrown in there just for the sake of plot development, how do you just rush to conclusions like that? The amount of people with the name "Damon Bradley" it's like how does she even know who is "the destiny" she's searching for? We weren't given any info on the conditions of that destiny so it's all fair game, anyone with that name counts...
Her character is also super self-absorbed and rude. Her friend that comes with her on the trip is caring and wants the best for her and she abuses her kindness all along the film not giving a damn about her at any point, it's all about her. Other than that she seems like a stupid, whimsical mess just ladidada anywhere the wind takes her in her super desperate looking attempt to find this guy in Italy. Obviously it's a movie and its not real, but in real life if you wanted that SO bad then why not postpone the wedding wait until the guy gets back and then meet him?!
She's also super rude to Robert Downey Jr's character when he ran all that way for the shoe and she's acting all entitled to him until she thinks his name is the name of the guy she's looking for. It's really all a big mess and so badly done. Like you realize this movie is just saying cheating is fine as long as destiny is the cause for it? What kind of message is that?! And Marisa's character SURE doesn't even blink at that matter. She runs straight after the guy after she finds out the name on the phone. It's pathetic and sad really, not romantic. I don't know if it's the execution of the character or just in itself but it's horrible.
The whole movie seem's like its rushing to go go go but it feels forced. I especially hated the scene where she JUST met Robert's character and already cozying up to him, kissing him and then when he says "because I love you" when she tried to leave it's full cringe, you JUST met. It feels like they asked a child what they thought romance in terms of destiny means because the amount of stuff that is rushed to be said in the movie is way out there!
There is the few romantic aspects that are nice: the Italian setting is nice, the characters other than Marisa's are all great, towards the end the story gettings nicer and nice to see Robert Downey Jr in a romance movie for once.
