a movie that really wasn't about much

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2010)

Not a whole lot happens in this movie. It's about 2 American girls that go to Spain for the summer. They meet an artist, Juan Antonio. They are told he had a messy divorce in which his ex stabbed him. He invites them for a weekend in another town. Christina really wants to go and Vicky, whom is engaged, reluctantly goes. During the weekend, both end up sleeping with Juan. Upon returning to Barcelona, he begins an affair with Christina and Vicky is kind of fawning over him too but once her finance comes to Spain, and they get hitched, that ends. Juan's ex, Maria, shows up and moves in with him and Christina. They fight a lot but they start participating in threesomes. And eventually both girls go back to USA. That's it.
BTW: the much talked about kiss between Scarlott and Penelope wasn't much at all. It was the only thing exciting the movie could advertise about. I certainly don't see how Penelope won an award for this role. The film was dull.
FINAL VERDICT: Slow paced drama, I recommend skipping it.
