Rome in Love movie review.

Its summer and to mark this season, Hallmark channel has a series of original romantic summer movies lined up for their viewers. They named the series Summer Night Series. The first movie aired on Saturday July 27th 2019 and it is titled Rome In Love. This movie is based on the book Rome In Love by Anita Hughes. They are both about an  unknown or undiscovered actress with great talent playing the role of Princess Audrey in  a remake of the old movie Roman Holiday. Although the making of the movie was not shown, the selection and preparation of the main characters was shown.  Fun fact, the movie was actually shot in Rome which was a "wonderful experience for the cast" according to madison.com  and Italia Ricci was actually pregnant at the time this movie was filmed.

The movie began with the main character i.e the undiscovered actress Amelia Tate ( Italia Ricci) being notified by her sister Kathrine (Isabelle Connolly) of the ongoing audition for the role of Princess Audrey in a remake of the old movie Roman Holiday.  Kathrine encouraged Amelia to audition for the  role because she was a great actress.  Amelia auditioned and after a while she was picked for the role and she had to leave her home in Oregon for   Rome where the filming of the movie will take place. When she got there the director dominic (Ross McCall) told her that he wants her to remain anonymous until a press conference  that he scheduled to talk about the movie . The only journalist that she was allowed to talk to is Philip (Peter Porte) an American like her working for a Roman  magazine. Philip was given the duty to write an expose on Amelia in order to introduce her to the world and it was exclusive to his magazine. In the cause of the interview which took place over a period of days,  they became close although Amelia was unwilling to open up at first because she want to protect her family from the public and the press.

In my opinion,  this movie is just trying to recognize those who give up a lot to take care of their family.  Amelia is orphaned so she is left with the responsibility of taking care of her younger sister Kathrine. She sacrificed her acting career and a chance to study acting in London so that she would be there for her sister.  Kathrine appreciates Amelia a lot that is why she encouraged her to continue with her acting career which she really loves. Kathrine wanted Amelia to enjoy her life and to have a break from taking care of her.

 Stay tuned to mztee for the review of the next movie in this series.  LOVE AND SUNSHINE coming out on the 4th of August. If you have Hallmark channel watch the movies and comment the one you love most.
