02/02/2009 Nice plot, interesting characters. See more 07/30/2008 Aside from Gael Garcia being really hot and not having much dialogs. He did symbolize the change of plot within in the movie and what was to happen. The story was indeed a bit dragged yet very touching. A lot of heartbreak and backstabbing. I have no idea why it wasn't in Spanish but it needed to be. It is indeed a nice story and dreamy reality along with a sweet dedication. See more 05/03/2008 é engraçadíssimo, de tão brega! See more 04/07/2008 maybe as a book, the story would have worked, but this, os plotless, boring and emotional dead See more 04/04/2008 not much of bernal in the movie.... but it was still good... See more 02/28/2008 No comment available. See more Read all reviews
