The movie is very Italian. It is enough of a reason for me to watch. There is lots of absurdity, as in a good Italian movie. For me, it was more sad than funny. It is about a dead guy everybody still loves to pieces, yet, they do not know why or if he cared for anybody at all. I like that the movie cannot be retold easily. It is more of an image than a story. The actors are fantastic.

A lovely film and so much more so than I ever expected to find. Like a mini trip down memory lane when some of the truly FABULOUS films were being made in Europe and many of the great ones were made in Italy. There were sweet parts, sexy parts and above all--extremely funny parts!! I plan on watching this at the very least, once again--YOU SHOULD WATCH IT TOO!!

If you're looking for a crisp, well-acted, lightly comedic hour and a bit - you can't go wrong with this film. Thoroughly enjoyed.

straight to the heart without a maudlin moment, this unfurling of revelations in one multigenerational Italian family is funny, tender, and always surprising,

The Latin lover is a stereotype that stretches back for centuries. Italians are known as a passionate race—they live and laugh and love in a big way, and they enjoy the finest things in life, from sumptuous food to gorgeous women and men. Many North Americans admire the fire that flows through the veins of Italians and there has been many a woman who has travelled to Italy to find her own Latin lover. Whether or not there are still Romeos wandering the streets of Rome, however, is a topic that has been the subject of much debate in recent years.
Italy is famous for spawning many a Latin lover, a man who is zealous about love and sex and that can make any woman on Earth feel beautiful and blissful due to his passionate and romantic nature. Most women are absolutely unable to resist the charms of a real Latin lover. In earlier times, most men from Italy were concerned to be Latin lovers and the country was famous the world over for its appealing men who dated many women, always in search of the right one for them. In books and movies, Latin lovers are often depicted as tall, dark and handsome with golden skin and molten dark eyes. Increasingly, many men pretend to be a Latin lover, but lack the innate charm and personality it takes to be one .
Latin Americans and Southern European males are also included in the group of Latin lovers (think Porfirio Rubirosa), if they possess the above qualities, of course. Many assume the Latin lover is no more than a womanizer, but one of these true lovers would likely claim that their only crime is loving women, albeit all women and often . While these famed lovers were perhaps not monogamous, they were respectful and gentlemanly in their treatment of their current affection. These days, the true essence of the Latin lover has been lost, many using the image as an excuse for an excess of lust.
Many historical figures have made the Latin lover title famous. From Casanova , one of the world’s most legendary lovers who dared to live on his own terms in the times of the Venetian Inquisition, to Rudolph Valentino , who was not only an actor but also a true sex symbol and the personification of romance for a generation of women. Valentino, however also faced a lot of criticism for lacking true masculine attitude, a charge also levelled at today’s would-be lovers. Nonetheless, Valentino was famous as a Latin lover amongst his female fans and many men emulated his style in hope of attracting women themselves. Upon Valentino’s early death, many of his fans were said to have collapsed into hysterics at the shocking news.
In recent times, the Latin lover has been seen more in fiction—from movies to romance novels—than in real life. Women have been polled as to their feelings in regards to real-life Latin lovers and the results are largely negative. Many women believe that the true Latin lover no longer exists and that, today, there are only party boys fuelled by pure lust. Many also feel that there is a marked absence of love and romance in today’s dating market. A few years back, the Montreal Gazzette published a poll asking female tourists what they thought of present-day Latin lovers in Italy. According to the paper, “nearly four in five women tourists were unmoved by Italian men’s charms. Seventy-nine percent said they would not fall for an Italian, with many saying they lacked cheerfulness and a sense of humour (51 percent), while others complained they were childish (49 percent)”. Italian men may take heart in the fact that many of the women also saw them as attentive and, yes, well-dressed.
So is it true? Are there no true lovers left in the world? While it’s impossible to make a sweeping generalization of an entire country’s male population, it seems safe to say that the stock of Italy’s Latin lover has dropped as of late. While the search continues for many women, all hoping to discover the man who can charm them senseless and see their true beauty, it seems that the real question is left up to the men. Well-dressed and handsome isn’t enough to live up to legends of the likes of Casanova, so if modern day lovers hope to stack up to their past idols, they’re going to have to step up their game.
Latin America is NOT Latin origin. Therfore conquered NATIVE AMERICANS are Not and will NEVER be Latin anything as they are Not from the Latin origin and culture. Being a Byproduct of colonialism is Not and will Never be Latin/Latino. Your article is ethnically INCORRECT by even attempting to call native Americans of pure and mixed Ancestry as Latin. Is the typical Americans mockery of Latin culture Us TRUE Latin people have to fight every day in this delusional Brainwashed corrupt country

Played for Laughs in a British advert. A women is in desperate need of help. In comes a very Spanish guy, complete with bad accent , who helps her… clear a stain off the table. It turns out its an advert for Plenty Paper Towels. Their selling point is that they're so absorbent you only need one… so the Spanish guy is Juan Sheet .
Played for Laughs in a Dutch McDonald's commercial as well. A woman says goodbye to her Latin Lover. The Dutch pride themselves on being able to speak a lot of languages. The woman thinks she understands Italian too. She does not. He tells her that he loves the fact that she paid a lot of stuff for him and that he is glad that she leaves. She tells him: "Oh dear, I love you too," in English. Then the ad proceeds to say you could better buy an Italian hamburger than go to Italy.

Hetalia: Axis Powers :
Spain from is certainly attractive; it's a meme within the fandom that any discussion about him will invariably turn to "dat ass". But he subverts this by being extremely oblivious and ditzy . The Italy brothers are also a subversion: they both flirt incessantly, but Northern Italy apparently isn't very successful (in his very first appearance he mentions being a virgin) and is too much a Keet to really fit the type, while Southern Italy's a strongly Type-A Tsundere who turns on the charm when flirting and is moody and abrasive otherwise.
Seborga is very much one also — and apparently much better at being one than the Italy boys.
Also, Ancient Rome himself, who pretty much seduced everyone around him when he was alive. (Well, anyone who's a woman, that is - he greatly regrets not doing the do with a man in his lifetime.) He's almost always shown surrounded by women.

Lampshaded hilariously by Russel Peters in this skit by Russel Peters. He even uses the words "Latin Lover"
Referenced by Chris Rock in one of his bits, where he says bigots of any stripe will eventually suffer Laser-Guided Karma and have whatever they hate end up in their family. Hate gays? Your son will be gay. Hate Latinos? Meet your daughter's new boyfriend.

The Adventures Of Olivia has Mexican Lupe doubling as The Trickster in how she sells sex toys door-to-door and Italian Anna, a mother and grandmother of five, each that heavily averts Obnoxious In-Laws by openly having sex with her sons-in-law then winning a beauty contest by doing all five judges at once and the motormouth runner-up while on tour.
Marvel Comics has El Aguila (The Eagle), a swashbuckling Hispanic-American mutant superhero who can channel electricity through conductive objects, like his sword (he pretends that he carries a sword with a high-tech electrical gimmick, so opponents will think he's harmless if disarmed). His heroic persona is about 50% Zorro, 50% Errol Flynn, and he's flirtatious and gallant with the ladies whenever the opportunity presents itself.
New Mutants has Roberto da Costa , an Afro-Brazilian who's as handsome as he is charming, especially in comparison to his scrawny teammates.

FoxTrot has Pierre, the ideal French lover who appears to Paige in her dreams.

Being a pastiche of Mexican celebrities like Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete and Vicente Fernández, Ernesto de la Cruz from Coco naturally invokes this, being the ideal Mexican man and implied to Really Gets Around .
Parodied with Mariano from Encanto , a very handsome and manly Colombian man who is very much In Love with Love , even getting a song lyric where he mourns that he has too much love inside. He doesn't particularly care when Isabela breaks off their engagement since she didn't truly love him, and happily moves on to Dolores who actually does love him back. He's also a bit of a Butt-Monkey , getting his nose broken twice.

Subverted with Rodolfo Tonetti in The Gay Divorcee (1934). Although he makes a living as "the lover" in divorce cases, he's actually a devoted family man whose motto is "Your wife is safe with Tonetti—he prefers spaghetti!"
One character in the first Police Academy movie deliberately invoked this trope by using a much thicker "Latino" accent than he actually had in order to score with women.
Gomez in the Addams Family movies is a subversion, being a Fauxreigner , as played by Raul Julia.
Salma Hayek , whenever she's paired with a white guy. Or a black guy. Or an Asian guy. Or a...
Similarly, Penélope Cruz and Paz Vega .
In Tin Cup , a woman asks her friend is she's ever been with a "Latin lover." Surprisingly, she's got her eye on Cheech Marin!
Rudolph Valentino is considered one of the American Ur Examples , due to his sex appeal and large number of fangirls. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse , which made Valentino a star, also started a tango craze in America after the scene in which Valentino's character dances a passionate tango.
This trope is extended to Portuguese men in Magic Beyond Words: The J. K. Rowling Story . J.K. Rowling's ex-husband Jorge Arantes falls squarely into it.
Enrique, a pool cleaner, in Legally Blonde , who claims Brooke Wyndham murdered her husband so she could be with him. Subverted , as he was lying; he's gay and in a relationship with a man named Chuck.
The Narcoleptic Argentinian in Moulin Rouge! .
Franco Bertollini in The Gumball Rally .
Name-dropped in How To Be A Latin Lover , which stars Eugenio Derbez as a washed-up Gold Digger trying to get back on his game.

Subverted by Raphael Kerna in Arcia Chronicles , who comes from a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Spain (and he is a toreador, to boot) and is the most popular guy among Arcian noblewomen thanks to his looks and mannerisms. However, he has never entered relationships with any of them. Also, his little sister Dariolo is acknowledged as the hottest girl in Arcia and even hooks up with future king Alexander , but is faaar away from a Femme Fatale ,
Ruy Sanchez de Casador y Ortiz in 1632 . This is lampshaded in one book where an "uptimer" character meets Ruy and ruminates on how the fellow bears a striking resemblance to certain Latino actors such as Ricardo Montalbán and Giancarlo Giannini whose looks improved as they aged. Ruy is described several times as having an exceptionally fit physique that contrasts strikingly with his gray-haired, lined face.
Flaco Jimenez from Rapture Of The Deep counts, even though Jacky only has eyes for Jaimy.
The Dresden Files : Subverted to amusing effect with Carlos Ramirez, a Spanish or Latin American (his nationality is never given, though he's based out of California) Warden of the White Council who plays himself up as The Casanova . Then he's introduced to Lara Raith of the White Court , who reveals him to be a virgin in passing (which Harry finds absolutely hilarious).
Without Seeing The Dawn had Luis Castro, son of feudal landlord and The Ghost Don Diego Castro, both of them of Iberian/Spanish descent. This being the Philippines, Latin Lovers are not as dark or tanned as the general populace, and instead are lusted over for their fairer skin and hair. Lucing, the married country girl who falls for him (and whom he falls for), even compared him to the heroic Hispanic princes in local folk plays.
More Filipino (or at least Philippine-set) examples in My Brother, My Executioner , with Luis Asperri, the Basque/Ilocano mestizo. He's a pretty mild version of this, but still pretty affectionate towards Trining, and makes a few green (i.e. dirty) jokes towards her, though more so after they're married. His landlord father Don Vicente, even more Basque, is even more so, having had affairs with various women in his youth and still going to whorehouses in his later years—not to mention the two main girls in his life: his Spaniard wife, and the Ilocana Nena, with whom he sires Luis.
All over the place in Junot Díaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao , seeing as most of the characters are Dominican . The womanizing narrator Yunior considers virility to be a defining trait of Dominican masculinity a
