Gabriel wants to meet a dream girl, but his friends only set him up with the wrong choices. At a nightclub, for example, Gabriel meets the nonstop talker who wonders about the male anatomy of aliens! Yet, taking a break from her, Gabriel spies the perfect girl, the one who can be his "inspiracion". That would be Alejandra, a most beautiful young lady indeed. They meet a few days later for their first date and continue to see each other for a couple of months. However, Alejandra only wants to be friends, much to Gabriel's dismay. Although his father wishes him to be an engineer, Gabriel is so inspired by Alejandra that he writes songs and poetry in abundance. Will Alejandra see the light? Despite a few cute scenes, such as the one where Gabriel dresses up like a pizza delivery man and steals into Alejandra's house, this film is very disappointing and mindblowingly dull. The writing has a few moments of sparkle, but is mostly stilted and amateurish. The result is a film that could have been improved, perhaps, by careful editing and additional writers, but which in its present state is a big yawn generator. One can not really fault the performers, for they are young and gorgeous, with plenty of star power. If you want to see lush Mexican scenery and beautiful folks, by all means, rent this for an evening or pick it out of the $1.20 bin at Big Lots, which is what I did. Just be advised that you can probably do your tax returns with more overall enjoyment.
