Une catastrophe n'arrive jamais seule

Bea (Clara Lago) is relatively secure in her professional life as a young Barcelona architect and in her relationship with Victor (Fernando Guallar) who is also her boss. At a works celebration they encounter Victor's "second most fancied celebrity" - a news anchor called Rebecca Ramos. Bea rashly introduces Victor to the unexpectedly predatory TV celeb and the inevitable happens - overnight.

Devastated, Bea retreats homeward into the arms of her welcoming, and unconventional family - and several other colourful inhabitants of her tiny home town who she doesn't remember. In particular, she's forever bumping into the rich widower Diego (played by Álex García) in his classic pink Mercedes.

This is a conventional Romantic Comedy, but neatly crafted and well acted. The plot is fairly predictable but everybody has some fun along the way, perhaps most especially Bea's "gifted" mother (Carmen Maura). This is a good movie for the family to watch, especially if they speak Spanish, and there are some genuinely funny lines - even for someone depending mostly on the subtitles. (English audio doesn't seem to be available on Netflix.)

Generally an enjoyable movie to while away a quiet hour and a half. 8/10

I really like the scenery, the music, the nostalgic sense, the family bonds. It is a sweet movie. But I don't think that the adult language is necessary......

I am usually suprised by the reviews on imdb, because it seems that a person that wanted to watch something else watched the movie and now wants to complain how bad it is... Like if you are watching romantic comedy why would you expect something else? If you want reality watch a documentary, if you want something serious, then a drama... There are so many movies to choose from.

I really enjoyed this movie. I like how simple it seems but then it is really deep movie. Makes me want to call my grandma and my mum, go and hug my brother and just makes me want to be happy. It is a lot about family, love and family relationships, love in tne family, accepting each other the way we are and dealing with life problems and crisis in a latin way, with a full spoon of humour and some wine. Love story is just a part of the movie and it is simple not cheesy or super unrealisticly romantic. I really enjoyed it's light atmosphere, it reminds me to dance and laugh more and take things less seriously.

I really enjoyed the soundtrack of the movie. Acting is good, actors look like normal people, not like some super polished Hollywood stars. It reminded me of my trips to Spain, those small towns look exactly like in the movie.

I really recommend it. Light romantic movie with the family story and a reminder that life is short, love your family, yourself, seek happiness. Simple life things but so important.

To be honest, I don't understand this rate. :( I have seen a lot of movies. It was a lovely film without any filth and sex scenes. You just watch and let it fill with fun and get emotional and happy. Not a typical hollywood movie as someone's said. It is full with emotions and love and light humor. The role players were really sympathetic and they were good choice.

A film with nicely written script that is good to watch with your family
