Terrifically boring

Rating: 2/10 (29 August 2008)

Characters undeveloped clichés (silly girl in search of passionate romance who will never know what she wants, her friend who thinks she wants the opposite but then feels bored, her shallow businessman fiancé, the passionate artist, the crazy artist who tries to kill herself), everything very predictable. Penelope Cruz's character was somewhat entertaining, but that was about it. I may have laughed once or twice. Barcelona is beautiful, but the location feels false and imposed upon the movie to make it more interesting. Famous locations were awkwardly dropped in like buzzwords.
To put this in perspective, I am one who is indeed quite fond of the movies IMDb says appeal to those who enjoy this.
