Highly Overrated But Still Good

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This movie seemed quite realistic - the actors do a superb job of creating their characters and that's what moves the movie! The scenes seem authentic to me, even though it is outside my own realm of experience. I just happened to notice the title and am glad I stopped to watch. I felt empathy with the bride and wanted a "happy ending" for her. There are some very well known actors there (including two from Saving Private Ryan), and I don't know why this movie isn't being shown on the other movie channels. It would give more people the chance to watch it. Well worth the time. Perhaps a different title would have induced more to view it.

Terrific cast often times goes with not so terrific plot. Terrific plot with not so terrific cast is another misfire. "The Florentine" has both a cast and a plot that equals terrific everything. The interwoven converging stories contain no sex and just a nosebleed of violence, yet the movie works on all levels because of tremendous character development. In this movie nothing else matters except lifelong friendships, and that is a rare and wonderful foundation for "The Florentine". The movie is very quiet, has terrific dialog, surprisingly sharp, yet understated humor, and is positively a keeper for multiple viewings. - MERK

This film is a sensitive depiction of the excitment and drama in the every day lives of people who are familiar to us all. Caught in a place where just scratching out an existance takes all the energy of a group of people who life has forced to use any means available to just get by. The siuations, characters, their relationships and dialogue bring us into a close understanding of life lived with little more than the basics. If you want to see a picture, (more a snapshot), about basic truths that we all share, this is it.

I was very anxious to see this movie since it was filmed where I live, in the Lehigh Valley. It took a long time since it was filmed--about two years ago--to be released. And I must say I'm very happy with it. Great cast and it was a pretty involving story. The Florentine is mostly composed of short scenes between different pairs of actors, and it moves along at a pretty even pace, though it is perhaps a bit slow at times. Overall, I'd rate it a 7 out of 10.
