Yes, I am aware that this film is incredibly old. Do you have a problem with that? No? That's what I thought. xD I did say that I would be reviewing all kinds of movies, so...you should already know about this. Anyway! I love this movie so much!!! It's one of those movies that you just have to see, because it's such a classic. Not to mention that it stars the one and only Audrey Hepburn. That girl is QUEEN. Just saying. Also, in case you don't know, this movie is in black and white, which I don't mind at all, but I know it does seem to bother some people. So...you've been "warned."

I'll give a quick, spoiler free summary of the movie. Overwhelmed by her suffocating schedule, a European princess that goes by the name of Ann takes off for a night while in Rome. However, when a sedative she took from her doctor kicks in, she falls asleep on a park bench and is found by an American reporter who takes her back to his apartment for safety. At work the next morning, the reporter finds out about Ann's regal identity and bets his editor that he can get an exclusive interview with her, but romance soon gets in the way.
Like I said, this movie is a classic. If you seriously haven't seen it already (for whatever reason) I highly, HIGHLY recommend that you do. It's beautiful, it's exciting, and best of all, it has romance. Did I already mention that romance movies are like seriously my favorite movies? Yeah I know, I'm seriously living up to the typical teenage girl stereotype by saying that, but it's true. I just can't get enough of romance movies! Also, since my Dad is really into the old films, I watch them a lot with him. Which I don't mind in the slightest, I love all of them. So when he told me we were going to watch this movie, I was SO EXCITED because I've heard so many good things about it. I'm so happy I finally got to see it.
Overall, I gave this film a 90% because it's definitely one of my favorites. Why didn't I give it a higher score, you ask? Well...look, I'm not gonna lie, I love old films. But they definitely have their "quirks" so that when you see them in this day and age, it's hard to overlook some of those "quirks" that all old movies seem to have. But other then that, I love the film VERY much, and I highly recommend this to anyone that feels up to watching it. Believe me, it's worth it.
