This frothy, oddly bloodless film does a disservice to the colorful life of the real Casanova. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Casanova

  • Aug 22, 2012
    The film is as charming and irresistible as Casanova himself.

    There's little to complain about, but just as little to brag about. It's underdeveloped, a bit confusing and rather silly at points. On the other hand, there's good production value, fair performances and strong entertainment value. Really, all that needs to be said is that "Casanova" is a prime example of an average, but quite entertaining film.

    Heath Ledger, Omid Djalili, Senna Miller, Charlie Cox, Lena Olin, Jeremy Irons, Natalie Dormer, Oliver Platt, Lauren Cohan DIRECTED BY: Lasse Hallstrom Heath Ledger plays the fabled romantic as a man who, after failing to win the affection of a particular Venetian woman, strives to discover the real meaning of love. It was a good little movie I caught on T.V, today. Entertaining with a great cast. Had great costumes and a great scenery of Venice. What I thought would be a bit more of a serious movie ended up being a very humorous one. Enjoyed it.
