Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

View MoreThe brazilian babe was great...she had a sweet demeanor and a certain charm that any gut could fall for except the dumb arse dean cain....oh, he might have been okay without his comic relief that was more of a more beer no show...big engvall made the film fail from the get go
View MoreDean Cain is a likable actor. His best role was, of course, as Superman in "Lois & Clark" on television quite a while back. He has not really risen much above television movies since then. And, like him, they're mostly pleasant affairs. This particular film was not a television movie, but it seems like one -- pretty shallow...but mildly pleasant. Here, the likable Cain plays a likable owner of a bed and breakfast in California wine country. But up pops a Brazilian woman who also seems to be the owner of the same property. See where this is going??? It's blatantly obvious with few surprises along the way. We meet a few wacko guests to the B&B, but this will barely hold your attention. Again, a somewhat pleasant diversion.Cain's acting here is likable, but that's about all I can say in his defense. Brazilian actress Juliana Paes plays the other owner, and she is pleasant, as well.If you like Hallmark television movies, you'll probably like this film. Otherwise, pass it by.
View MoreI only put spoiler alert because it is so simply obvious that the movie attempts to telegraph what's about to happen.Juliana does a stellar job with facial expressions and sincerity, especially since her lines were apparently written by a 10 year old. A number of times, just when the movie appears to be making sense and following an understandable path, it slides off into tired and confusing situations.While I personally like movies with surprises, this one is surprising only in that it simply can't make any sense.If you have Netflix, and it doesn't cost to watch streaming, and you have housework to do, it might do for white noise, otherwise, don't bother.
View MorePseudoactor and TV presenter, Marcio Garcia directs his first feature film. The film lacks script, directing and acting. The last scene - a displaced product placement - in which Mr Garcia acts is something to be remembered - because it is the most embarrassing moment in the recent film history. Juliana Paes is very famous in Brazil because she played an Indian in a soap opera, and Dean Cain (Dean who?) is virtually unknown after his superman TV show was canceled so many years ago. The movie was one of the biggest BO disappointments last year in Brazil - thanks heaven people still have sense. Because of that it is a shock that Mr GArcia found anyone to put money in a new film.
