Film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) is starting a new movie in 10 days and he hasn't written a single word yet. He doesn't know if he still has the touch after 2 consecutive flops. All that is sure is that the new movie is to be called Italia and stars his muse Claudia (Nicole Kidman).
The story isn't very appealing. It's just so much doubt and mid-life crisis from Guido. The songs are, to be kind, weak cabaret Broadway caliber. Penélope Cruz does a super sexy dance. Daniel Day-Lewis isn't completely horrible. Kate Hudson has the most fun and energetic. And Marion Cotillard gets very emotional. Besides a few sexy dance moves, the songs and dances are mostly forgettable. And there is something very static about having all those performances on the same stage. There are some hot babes, but the movie isn't so hot.
