Gianni Di Gregorio's follow-up to his surprise hit Mid-August Lunch sees the writer-director reprising the mild-mannered ageing Roman mamma's boy character from that film. This time round he's required to prove he's still got what it takes by finding himself a lover. This humane comedy is given depth by the vein of melancholy and poetic longing that runs through its gentle comic sketch structure... Like Nanni Moretti or Woody Allen, Di Gregorio mines his own long-suffering face and character for comedy - It's the everyday realism and quietness of the comedy that wins us round in the end…
