Amor por Acaso

Giving this older and under appreciated film some love in part for its amazing soundtrack. It's worth watching this film just for that. Unironically one of the best film soundtracks I've ever heard. The songs are all listed here on IMDb so no worries looking them up. I spent half the film constantly commenting about this to my wife.

As far as the film itself goes...better than the five stars it has here. It's funny and unexpectedly satirical. The leads have chemistry. The plot itself isn't that cringey. Everyone is likable. Frankly this film is much better than most current films in the genre who claim to be comedies yet are void of comedy.

Great balance of humour and romance. Lots of laugh out loud moments. Will certainly watch this again. The first 15 mins is all with Spanish dialogue.... keep watching its worth it.

Sorry folks - this movie is written for immature eight grade boys. The whole movie revolves around kissing scenes and staring at the parts of the lead actress. I am surprised that Dean Cain took the role of this cheesy low rent movie. I would not waste your time, unless you are an immature eight grade boy, but even then with all the other films out there - you too would be bored.I am not quite sure why they make movies like this one, unless they have a quota or something. I guess it was supposed to be funny and cute, so if you only had two choices and the other one was reruns of The Andy Griffith Show - I would watch Andy, Opie, and Barney - much more entertaining.

This film is about 90 minutes, which is pretty typical for the genre, but the leads don't share a scene until the 30 minute mark. It was a nice enough film, but some plot elements seemed to be thrown in at the last second in a way that didn't add to the story.

Also, heads up, parts of the movie take place in Brazil and the characters speak Portuguese, so there are some subtitles.

Pseudoactor and TV presenter, Marcio Garcia directs his first feature film. The film lacks script, directing and acting. The last scene - a displaced product placement - in which Mr Garcia acts is something to be remembered - because it is the most embarrassing moment in the recent film history. Juliana Paes is very famous in Brazil because she played an Indian in a soap opera, and Dean Cain (Dean who?) is virtually unknown after his superman TV show was canceled so many years ago. The movie was one of the biggest BO disappointments last year in Brazil - thanks heaven people still have sense. Because of that it is a shock that Mr GArcia found anyone to put money in a new film.
