Review of Ho voglia di te

This supposedly love story is the exhibition of beauty and perfection, a stage on which plastic characters show their stereotypical cover and try to hide the emptiness inside them.

In the second chapter of this cheesy storyline Step (Riccardo Scamarcio) goes back home after three years in the States. He meets Gin (Laura Chiatti), they chase each other for some time and then fall in "love". When Step cheats on her with his ex-girlfriend Babi (Katy Saunders), Gin breaks up with him and he finds out that she had been platonicly in love with him for years. Nonetheless his great charm manages to heal her wounds and they end up together again.

I cannot find anything decent in this film: the story is ridiculous (for example Gin following Step everywhere for years is just creepy), the characters are beautiful empty boxes, there is absolutely nothing interesting to communicate. I don't even like most of the sub-text:

• the main character cheats on his girlfriend but they get back together as he puts up a poster of them together in the street... do people really think that would be enough?? Do women need this?

• all the characters look wonderful, they are fit and sporty, there is no natural charm.

• superficial conversations, followed by fake pain and fake love.

The whole mix is just something horrible and in a way even offensive for the viewer...
