Bad movie with a few okay parts but not the ending


I'll admit it from the start; I did not watch every frame of this movie. I put it on fast forward and only stopped at certain points.

One of those was the view of the city from the air and the short bit of sightseeing on the ground. The four people crammed into the helicopter was, of course, absurd but I could deal with that because I felt I was getting an aerial tour of Rome along with a little history. I loved it!

I also listened to Mr. Lanza's singing but only long enough to know his is not my type of music. I watched the fashion show to see the styles at the time then I watched the last few minutes of the movie. The entire movie is bad but the end is beyond ridiculous. I was not surprised but I felt bad for Pepe; his cousin shows up, turns his life upside down then gets the girl - bummer! Why he wanted the little thief didn’t make much sense. She’s a thief and he’s an arrogant jerk who will steal the limelight even from a little ten year working for change.
