Every person in this movie has their feelings hurt or heart broken and somehow James Brooks tries to turn it into a comedy...it`s beyond me!
Come on everyone, it`s a love story!
Why stay with an unfaithful woman who loves you for your money or go to the one who loves you for who you are...and has morals...what to do, what to do??
James Brooks has created a film that is far to subtle and beautiful for the average american movie goer. To really apreciate this film one has to watch it a dozen times...as I have.
I loved this movie and hated it at the same time. I hated the time warps. To name one, it seems as if they have just moved into the summer house and then, a few arguments later...there`s a scene of Flor and her daughter getting off the bus back in town. The family moved back home without even a word that summer is over! I loved, Flor - it would have been great if she had learned english early on. It was close to the end of the movie before she started speaking english and that was when she was at her sexiest. They could`ve made a whole movie of her speaking like that and believe me it would have been a hit! She is the sexiest latino aro
Poor John, dumped twice in one night. All they did in this movie was fight...no wonder it flopped.
The better version of this movie was probably edited out. I`m sure most people left this movie mumbling why?? Why the flimsy little romance between John and Flor? Why have Flor break John`s heart -what purpose did that serve? Why have Deb screw around for three months, be a total B. and not have to sufer the consequences?? People want to be entertained at the movies not get a lesson in ethics 101. Jeez brooks at least let John Have the fantasy or don`t go there at all. I can do that myself and not go to the movies.
I simply fell in love with Paz Vega and her character Flor. She was perfecto!
The movie was outstanding!!! It shows the real life of people. It also shows the love between a mother and doughter-whitch is very entertaining!
Deaply moving performances by all the cast members. They showed a pg rated view of the dynamic between Mexican and Anglo-Saxon culture with in the United States using the posh part of Los Angeles as a back drop.
