Come tu mi vuoi

Giada is a hardworking student who does whatever it takes to cover college costs. Riccardo is a brash, good looking guy who answers her tutoring ad in hopes of lifting his poor grades. She is shy and unassuming, he is confident and fearless. Their unlikely pairing kicks off as a practical study arrangement, quickly revealing how their differences collide and complement each other. Through late night sessions, shared notes, and the rhythms of campus life, they test each other's boundaries and expectations. The connection that grows stays respectful and light, hinting at a romance that could blur the line between tutoring and attraction, without spoiling the surprises ahead. Humor comes from situational gags, awkward miscommunications, and a warm sense of Italian everyday life. The film never feels cynical, choosing charm over sting and giving the audience a comfortable emotional arc.

Directed by Volfango De Biasi, Come tu mi vuoi adapts a contemporary Italian romance with a witty campus twist. The film features an original screenplay by Magnaghi, Tomassetti and Martini, with Cristiana Capotondi and Nicolas Vaporidis headlining the leads now.

The movie carried a budget of $2,500,000 and earned about $7,086,000 worldwide, including solid performances in several European markets, signaling a solid return for a mid-range Italian comedy in theaters and beyond.

The film sits in the late 2000s Italian romcom landscape, leaning on a sunlit campus setting and the clash between a reserved student and a bold suitor. Simple cafe and classroom scenes add a relatable texture while the tone stays breezy.

Critics noted the natural chemistry between Giada and Riccardo and the film's playful tone. The themes include balancing work and love and how opposites can push each other to grow, with a light hearted payoff that feels earned. It leaves audiences with a smile and a warm feeling.
