Thi Mai, rumbo a Vietnam

I generally enjoy mixing humor with drama but here the comedy felt like it was put in just for the sake of having some jokes blended in. I had high hopes for the movie but where they injected humor it was out of place and distracted from the flow of the story.

It's not annover her top comedy but it has its funny moments. It's a sweet movie that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you feeling good.

Heartfelt and funny at the same time. What's interesting is the encounter of two distinct cultures with comedic outcomes. The other interesting aspect is the linguistic skill of a Vietnamese actor who appears to speak fluent Spanish. Or is it considering that Vietnam was once under a European colonial power?

The actors portraying the characters of Carmen, Rosa and Elvira are engaging, and the viewer feels he/she is part of the conversation.

They project true friendship.

The added bonus is you get to see some of the scenic spots of this fast-growing country like Ha Long Bay and Ho Hoan Kiem, one of several charming lakes in Hanoi.

What a lovely movie with cultural charms and sweet humorous plot! Beautiful cinematography. Moving dialogues. Happy ending for every one. Yay!

A heartwarming story about a Spanish woman determined to complete the adoption of a Vietnamese child following her daughters death. Filmed beautifully in Viet Nam. Full of love and humor.
