What is it with all the shitty rom-coms today? I know, I know, that's redundant.Giacomo Casanova (Heath Ledger) enjoys tomcatting around Venice but when he meets beautiful and brainy Francesca Bruni (Sienna Miller) he starts to wonder is settling down isn't the way to go after all. Unfortunately, Francesca is engaged to a Genoese lard merchant (Oliver Platt) and Casanova is being targeted by Rome's top inquisitor (Jeremy Irons) for his many moral lapses necessitating the use of multiple aliases and cover identities.
Honestly, the script is stupid and you'd be much better served by watching Chocolat 400 times in a row instead. I liked Heath Ledger but this was not one of his more notable works. The only thing that I found remotely interesting was seeing who would later go on to do good work in the present, like Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones and Elementary and Lauren Cohan from Supernatural and The Walking Dead. Kudos to both those ladies for managing to rise above this schlock.
