What - a - piece - of - garbage.

Rating: 3/10 (13 June 2011)

My gym teacher lent me this movie this morning saying: "I saw it twenty times and I cry my eyes out every time I see it...", "I saw it the last time with a girl friend of mine and we both were crying buckets... we had so much fun!!" -- Well..., not very good for a start. I'll see her the day after tomorrow so I wanted to see this movie and get the experience over as soon as possible. I couldn't.
Its sooo booooringggg!!!
The eternal first love (contradicted by parents opposed to rich girl marrying poor boy). The funny thing is this: Her family, from the South, plenty of money and manners (and prejudices) was supposed to raise this girl with a silver spoon in her mouth. Well, I don't know what Hollywood intends nowadays by a refined, well mannered girl from such a social group, but let me tell you that this girl looks and acts like a Pizza Parlor waitress (and please, Pizza Parlor waitresses forgive me for the comparison, since I'm sure many of you have the looks and manners of Lady Di).
Oh, Grace Kelly, where are you?!!
The guy instead, being a low brow worker, has the class that his love object lacks to the nth degree. Her husband in the story should have played the main character, having the physique du rol appropriated or at least more appropriated than (sorry, don't remember their names) the main character.
If I'm not wrong the movie starts in the 50s or thereabouts ¿since when at that time women walked down the street in their shortest miniskirt?? Come on..., a bit of research, you don't need to do too much work to check these facts... After 30 minutes or so the watching became unbearable for me and, feeling bad about next Wednesday having to face my teacher with such a heavy disappointment when returning her CD: ("Did you like it?"...). I just couldn't go on with this movie and started skipping scene after scene to the bitter end (well, actually quite a relief for me) when the credits appeared.
What - a - piece - of - garbage.
Do you want to be swept off your feet with this kind of story? Three jewels: "Splendor in the Grass" (1961), "Les parapluies de Cherbourg" (1964), "I girasoli" (1970). Three high class movies that for sure you have never seen before or after.
