I mean this movie isn't going to become an iconic romcom of the decade. Of course it's cheesy but it's no different than most movies in its genre. It's far better than anything on Hallmark. Kat and Tom make a great looking tv couple and the Italian setting is beautiful. My only complaint is Kat's outfits! She is an extremely beautiful woman and why in the world she got stuck in the clothes she did was beyond me! They had so many opportunities to put her in a beautiful cocktail dress or evening gown and instead they dressed her like an adult toddler. I did feel like the two had chemistry despite other reviews.

OK, so this truly is awful, but you already knew this when you decided to watch a no-budget Netflix romcom.

I also know why you decided to watch it, so let me clear this up for you: there is only one scene where Tom Hopper is shirtless. It starts at 13:40 and it only lasts for 1 minute and 40 seconds.

He looks pretty good, lean, nice chest, great back and fantastic posture, but come on, it's only 100 seconds. If you want us to watch the whole film, give us something more. (I fast forwarded through the rest - he does not take that shirt off again).

I should also point out (in response to the only other review on here) that Tom is actually English, but yeah, his English accent here is very odd. Like he's trying to do a different English accent to what he naturally has? I don't know.

My rating is 1/10. One star for every full minute that Tom appeared shirtless.

Another run of the mill romcom, but what can you expect. I totally agree with the reviewer above, and the only reason that I rate it one more star, is that I reviewed another romance flick yesterday and gave it 3 stars, and this one is slightly better. (Which is not saying much). It seems that every romcom that takes place in Italy, has to include at least one insane driver, and sure, we got one here too.

The girl gets dumped by her boyfriend at the start, which is no wonder since she's totally over the top, having everything planned to make her romantic delusions come true. However, we may wonder how he managed to stand it for 4 years, which apparently is how long their relationship has lasted. We might also wonder why he decides to turn up later and propose, but i guess that was in the script and out of his control lol.

The whole plot lacks imagination just as the lame title. Love in the Villa, seriously ??? You couldn't come up with anything better ?

It is possible to make decent romance movies even with the restriction the genre imposes, but it takes dedicated writers and actors, and they clearly didn't have either here. Tom Hopper looks like he'd rather be anywhere else through the whole movie.

Waste of time.
