Penelope Cruz , locations &soundtrack 10+,movie hardly 7

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2009)

Well maybe my expectations and everybody else were too high....
But how they couldn't be if you have such a cast (Penelope Cruz,Javier Barden,Scarlett Johanson) and writer/director MR. Woody Allen.
Well i was surprised that won the golden globes in category comedy/musical the movie isn't that funny , have some moments but that's it, contrary to IN BRUGES the one that it should won in it in my humble opinion or in second place BURN AFTER READING .
The acting as you can expect was solid by Johanson, Barden and Rebbeca Hall (this last one a sweet surprise) but who stoles the film with her neurotically lovely performance was without a doubt Penelope Cruz ,when she's on screen the other characters seems like blurs even Barden who i think is on the top 5 male actors in the present moment;Cruz performance was superb.
-The locations were Astonishingly beautiful. -The soundtrack was very original ,cachy and appropriate.
And well is the movie is worth seem? yes for the aspects already mention but don't expect something form other world; thats it ,Hope it helps.
