The twist? Husband Luca (Furno) gives the guests a “true” version of the story, and a lot of false ones.Īs in “rock star mathematician” Giulia ( Matolde Gioli) might have hooked up with womanizing lawyer Dario ( Giuseppe Maggio), flirting just long enough to get across the notion how “DTF” she is. Whatever screenwriter Martino Coli and director Alessio Maria Federici were shooting for, it’s not clear they had it figured out, just a winning cast, a lot of coupling (sans sex-scenes) and some vague thesis that “we have many potential ‘soulmates.'”Ī clumsy framing device has this story of two couples related by a married couple ( Flavio Furno and Marta Gastini) tell some dinner guests how they set these other two couples up. Only it makes far less sense, and manages to be far more frustrating as well. So it’s a tale of “fate” and “fated to be together,” sort of like “Sliding Doors,” if you remember that far back. It’s a thought exercise tale about two couples, bouncing willy nilly between them as they are paired-up with this prospective mate, then that one, playing out all the possibilities of how things might have turned out if this “soulmate” had found that one, or decided that somebody else was a better fit in his or her life. If you’ve watched it, you got there all on your own. You’re allowed to be confused by what unfolds in the mix-and-match Italian romance “Four to Dinner.” Not that you need my permission.
