Just Regular

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2009)

I expected a much better movie, I like most of the movies of Woody Allen, this one is entertaining but nothing more. I think this movie deserves 6.5 stars.
The plot is interesting, the performances are just OK (except for Scarlett Johansson who is a very limited actress), the one who is very good is Rebecca Hall as Vicky, I have always liked the work of Penelope Cruz and I found her work good in here but not to have won an academy award. I found very stupid the scenes when the characters Juan Antonio and Maria Elena discuss in English when the are alone in a room and Cristina is in other part of the house.
Vicky (a serious engaged woman) and Cristina (a free will spirit) are 2 young Americans friends who are in Barcelona on vacations and meet a painter named Juan Antonio (who has a little crazy ex wife called Maria Elena), the 2 women are going to have some kind of relationship with him that is going to change their way of looking life forever .........
6.5 stars = Regular +
