The plan seems to go find until Matteo’s mother and Grandmother arrive and a comedy of errors results as they are convinced Anna is engaged to Matteo thanks in large part to Anna trying on a ring that she found.
Complications arise when Anna is embraced by the extended family and learns that Matteo shunned the family business and ventured out into the world abruptly. The arrival of Anna has the family convinced that Matteo is about to return.

The movie is fun and charming even if you know exactly where the story is going to go. There are some scene stealing moments from the supporting characters from Anna’s friend to a sympathetic driver who give the movie an added sense of humor and charm.
The end result is a fun and charming film that gives audiences easy to enjoy characters, humor, and a dash of romance in an easy to enjoy package.
