Reaction to review of film

Scott says, "it is a movie that is very nearly perfect without being especially good" (Scott).

I agree with Scott on this one because it was a pretty good movie, but it is not completely perfect.  It's not like its the best movie ever made.  It could have been made a little better.  For example, during the scene where Sophie breaks up with Victor because she feels that its just not working out- they are hardly with eachother- there could have been a little more emotion with her and Victor.  It's not that, that part was not good, it's just that it could have been better.

Scott explains, "Look at how pretty Italy is!...Doesn’t that old lady look sad? A wedding, how nice!" (Scott).

I also agree with this quote.  The movie did a very good job at showing how beautiful Italy is.  I loved it and it makes you want to go to Italy.  They did good emotions in the movie, too, like looking sad?  The fact that they added a wedding into the movie made it even more romantic and it showed what that movie was all about.

Scott says, "Which makes her...a little more interesting than the movie she’s in" (Scott).

I disagree.  Here he is talking about Sophie, how she is more interesting than the actual movie she is in.  I think that Sophie is interesting, but i liked the movie and i was not focused on her in the movie, but on everything.
