Marco and Maria are school mates from Italy, and vacation with a gay couple in San Francisco. Fun, cute, entertaining. Good quality editing, directing. good acting. Fun story line, treating gay couple with respect. They DO toy with the audience for quite a while to see if Marco or Maria will try the "gay life", since they make a big point of showing us how inexperienced they both are. If the gay guys live on the edge of Alamo Square, and own a SAILBOAT, the real estate agent must be selling a lot of million dollar homes! and one wants to quit his job. very understanding hubby. and what the ##$$ happened to the friend in Palo Alto who found them a place to stay? we never see him again after the first two minutes... did he croak when filming started? you'd think after flying to Amurrica, Marco and Maria would make the effort to go visit him. and who flies to Cuba for a day or two? I guess if you have the dough... Okay.. in spite of this, its cute and fun, and the whole point seems to be "enjoy you're summer vacation, whether or not it ends up going where you think it's going to go". Some missed connections. some lessons learned. Also called "L'estate Addosso". Good work from director Gabriele Muccino; he's been making films for 20 years now. Showing on netflix. Highly recommended!
