Jack Scalia plays a New York business tycoon who's married to a bitchy woman and who's unhappy with his life. He gets a divorce, shaves off his beard, loses some weight, chucks his glasses, and heads for Hollywood. He changes his name, becomes a struggling actor, and soon lands a lead role in a movie. As a premise, this is implausible, and the movie simply isn't well enough made to overcome the viewer's sense of disbelief. Its attempts to poke fun at the world of movie-making are also too obvious to generate many laughs. Jack Scalia got his start modeling skimpy briefs in print ads and he is, as usual, attractive and likeable in a shallow sort of way, and if you want to see him stripped to the waist, hanged by his wrists, and lashed with a whip, then "Amore" is for you. (The flogging occurs as a scene in the movie which he's filming.)

Jack Scalia rules as a 50year old desenchanted successful businessman who quits his job,get's a divorce and moves to Hollywood to seek his stardom.It's a must see great comedy and please put on dvd!!
