    Your appreciation of Nothing Left to Do But Cry is entirely dependent on whether you think Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi arguing about anything and everything for almost two hours is amusing. Clearly, I don't. I was open to it, but it soon become quite tedious. I was hoping to be charmed by the premise - two friends inexplicably stumble into the year 1492 and learn to live in the Renaissance, hoping to find a way home - but the film abandons everything it sets up at the midway point to undertake some other adventure, one that's also abandoned, until we screech to a strange halt, on a joke. But if this movie doesn't have a proper ending, it doesn't have a proper beginning either. Two comedians doing improv for a month's shooting and not bothering to really finish the film. That's what it looks like. So it's hard to justify getting invested in the fate of their host (forgotten), Troisi's romance (forgotten), the job interview with a hangman (scheduled and then forgotten), the Spanish Amazon character (forgotten), the quest to change history (anti-climactic), and the part Leonardo da Vinci plays (veering on the absurd). A deep disappointment. I guess I've got nothing left to do but cry... 4 years 11 months ago
