Casanova
(USA, 2005, 111 minutes)
The legendary Venetian seducer Casanova finally meets his match in a fiercely feminist young woman who is resisting her arranged marriage to a Genoa trader. Dismally ill-advised period romp that was lavishly shot in Venice but never rises above bawdy, unfunny slapstick, wasting a game cast.
