Woody Allen’s “To Rome With Love” Trailer: Promising Cast With Maybe Not Much to Fulfill

“To Rome With Love” has to be better than “Anything Else,” the terrible 2003 Woody Allen romcom about … relationships … because Jesse Eisenberg, “Rome” star, beats Jason Biggs, “Anything” guy — although barely. They’re both lovable lunks who work just fine as young, anodyne Allen neurotics. Although you can’t be sure with Eisenberg, who stars with Penelope Cruz (playing a prostitute, it seems) and Ellen Page (who, interestingly, is said to have a “sexual vibe”), judging only by this trailer, which is mostly dominated by Cruz’s crude and sultry gag lines. We don’t expect this to be “Midnight in Paris.” We can say that if there’s a high noon in this Rome, Eisenberg will likely sulk away.
