Some have commented about the use of a narrator. Yes, that was lazy and intrusive, but not nearly the worst part of this boring mess of a film. And I wouldn't care if Woody Allen wasn't the director and writer -... Full review

Beautiful story, very real and very close to that kind of European way of life, far from the America's rush... the acting is top-notch, as expected from those talented actors. Penelope and Javier have worked together in the past so they... Full review

The true star of this wonderful film, though, truly has to be the lovely Penelope Cruz.....Javier Bardem is perfect as the love scorned painter, Juan Antonio.....Luckily the whole tone of the film takes a light turn and we are able to be effortlessly strolled through this truly beautiful tale.....The scene where he introduces himself to the two girls is literally priceless..... ...
