Roman Holiday

Overwhelmed by her suffocating schedule, touring European princess Ann takes off for a night while in Rome. When a sedative she took from her doctor kicks in, however, she falls asleep on a park bench and is found by an American reporter, Joe Bradley, who takes her back to his apartment for safety. At work the next morning, Joe finds out Ann's regal identity and bets his editor he can get exclusive interview with her, but romance soon gets in the way.

Reviews:

  • Apollo Floyd
    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Sean Ibarra
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Justice Webb
    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.
    Rating: 4.5

  • Estella Ayers
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
    Rating: 2

  • Anais Hunt
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
