3.0 out of 5 stars a social critique on Itailan machismo- but not too many laug, July 20 2003

This review is from: Bread and Tulips (Widescreen) (DVD)

At first the movie got off to a slow start, but then once new characters became invovled in the plot, things started to change for the protagonist.

The movie is a cross between Desparately Seeking Susan with Madonna and Just Married...

At parts you will be waiting for the ending to come, which you know what it is.
This movie examines Italian machismo and makes an interesting statement by staying that Fernando is the man for her. Fernando, is not like her husband or sons, because he was changed by his experience in jail. Hmm, is this a commentary saying that men will only be decent to women once they are punished for their behavoir?? Maybe I'm pulling too much out of this one!

It's nto as funny for the American audience, I did not find more than maybe one moment as funny. The movie has some odd parts and it is incredible to think how Fernando would let her stay with him so long...

It's worth seeing, but maybe just once.

1.0 out of 5 stars unable to read DVD, Sep 15 2011

This review is from: Pane E Tulipani (DVD)

Was unable to see it on my DVD player. I have to convert the DVD from European to American.
When I purchased the item I expected the supplier to do the conversion for me. They knew they were shipping it to Canada or at least inform the buyer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusual feel good movie, Sep 26 2010

This review is from: Bread and Tulips (Widescreen) (DVD)

This film is part fantasy, part romantic comedy, part mid-life crisis, and part journey of self discovery, but completely enjoyable. The main character is truly lovable. I have lent this movie to friends that have differing tastes than mine, yet they all enjoyed it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dreadfully overrated trash!
Maybe I can't appreciate Bread and Tulips because I am not a middle-aged housewife. I found the film slow, overlong, boring, and pointless. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Gently hilarious, humane, and refreshing
"Bread and Tulips," Silvio Soldini's gently hilarious comedy, allows viewers to revel in a lovely story about the renewal of life and hope. Read more
