Witty and humorous thanks to a delightful cast, this period farce about the famed lover Casanova is a lot of fun to watch. Heath Ledger plays the dashing Venetian rogue Giacomo Casanova with the right amount of charm and debonair. The story introduces him as he must find a proper match to both climb the social ladder and avoid becoming a target of the powerful Catholic Church. He is aided by his sidekick Lupo and comes across fencers, merchants, socialites, proto-feminists, and a nasty cleric (Irons). The cast is clearly enjoying themselves. The mood is light and breezy. There is absolutely no reason that this was rated R though. It's far more risque and cheeky than sweaty and raunchy smut.

I love Heath Ledger, so I think thats why I can forgive the silliness attached to it. To me, everything he does is brilliant...even if its surrounded by bad dialgue, ridiculous plot, and overall silliness.

Good-natured and frequently amusing farce has very little time for character development and allows too many instances of mistaken identity that it ultimately becomes redundant; Oliver Platt and Lena Olin have the best moments. Final Grade: C+

Although I love Heath Ledger, he couldn't even save this film. It's just too silly.

Wow, this goes beyond bad. I decided to see it because I like Lasse Hallstrom. Even though, yes, I despise Heath Ledger and Sienna Miller. Anyway, if you want to know what it's about, see the preview. There was nothing new or exciting about the movie. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS.
