Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The only reasons to watch this movie are the women. Angie Cepeda who is simply a knockout (as is her Cousin Monica( Martita Roca)) and if Angie was not in just about every scene, the movie would be unwatchable. Its about Sofia (Angie) a Colombian Student, who in order to remain in this country makes some very bad decisions like marrying someone for a Green Card (who is a crook and robs her of everything), and being a Surrogate Mother to a Wealthy Couple for $50,000. Of course, being its a Romantic Comedy, she ends up not paying a severe price for them. Although to be honest, the movie is not funny (more like a light drama) Why? Because there were no funny scenes in the movie except those involving the Orphan Kid Max, and one elevator scene with Sofia and her true love, Dr. Neil Gardner (Ken Marino), who knows how to make her laugh, with a telephone. Spoilers Ahead: Of course, Sofia and Neil end up married, and adopt Max, and live happily ever after. How Angie did not become a big star in this Country? No idea, she is a knockout. 7/10 Stars.

Surprisingly, this is a *very* well written script from a well-thought idea for a story as well. The result is one of those "feel good" movies. There certainly are some stereotypes related to this type of romantic comedy, but, with non-stereotyped ending for each case. The difference here, however, is the "salsa" thrown in the pot, stemming from great Colombian actress Angie Cepeda (lovely, very natural and fine actress)and certainly helped out by a fine casting as well. The Latin flavor (and feelings, and life style) is present throughout the film in the two South-American girls from "...down there someplace...", as stated by Nora Dunn's character at some point. Here at IMDb below this reviewing window I got five "recommendations", all American, all very poor and certainly quite below this film's level. It also is a quite long film, which you don't notice because of the fine script and its great rendering by the actors.

Its strange because much about this movie is kind of cliché and at times it had a strange awkwardness or amateurish feeling.And yet, Angie Cepada is so strikingly beautiful, and at the same time so natural in her acting, that the film is a continual pleasure to watch. When she smiles it has all the warmth of someone you know. you just can't help falling in love with her.Also, the film is interspersed with scenes that are very well done and outside the usual genre of romantic comedy, incorporating an off-beat humor that is at once silly and quite smart, because it captures the awkwardness of social interaction so well.Even though at times it has an intelligent indie quality to it, it is still ultimately a predictable sappy romantic comedy about motherhood and family. If you expect nothing more it may surprise you though...I couldn't tear myself away.

Sophie is from a Latin American country and married a U.S. citizen to enter the country. She's in school studying law and wants become a lawyer. Her fake husband takes all of Sophie's things from her apartment while she is there asleep, as well as emptying their shared bank accounts and credit cards AND he cancels her automobile insurance. The following day he admits to the theft and threatens to report their illegal marriage to the INS and have her deported if she reports him to the police. That's kind of how it starts.I read the other review here before I saw the movie and so expected a bad movie. I was happily surprised. I liked it. It's not the world's greatest movie and I liked it.Sophie's cousin refers to her husband as "harmless," which is a good description of this movie. It's harmless - a simple piece of fluff yet mildly entertaining. You'll even smile at a few places in the movie. It's something you might see on a family programming TV station.
