If a movie can keep you Involved for hundred or so minutes what else you need

Lovable characters, smart script and nice cinematography ... yes, somehow ordinary script, but over all, a nice flick for a relaxing evening. I highly recommend this to the common north american viewer who thinks that life and chasing chicks is all done via drugs, alcohol and obnoxious behavior at both personal and family levels ... enjoy

Wonderfully fun movie. A bit treacly? Umh, sure - it's a romantic comedy. I suspect it will become a future guilty pleasure for me.

The dialogue is excellent; there were several times it had me laughing out loud - and I was watching it with subtitles. The banter between the two lead actors reminded me of "When Harry Met Sally" in pace and wit, but earthier.

The actors are beautiful - he carries off a hint of gray and she has a lovely Bohemian vibe - and they have nice chemistry on screen. Nobody is perfect in the movie, and the two exes aren't completely horrible, which makes it all the more approachable.

I liked that this film was different from other romance movies I have seen where the characters are not only playing a game where they are not to know too much information about each other and no phone numbers etc. like in the past but the fact they are both trying to get over someone which made this different and rather fun to watch.

I did get personally distracted by the subtitles throughout and found that they were too fast at times and that I couldn't really watch the film properly as I was trying to keep up with them.

However this film was really cute and I ended up smiling a lot from it.

Being a cinephile and romance film lover I stumbled upon a reviewer here that said it was the best they has seen in years.

As I watched this and even with subtitles there was something very special going on! A smart funny introspective messy real human story with great characters and interesting dialog and just enough imperfection to breathe life into the whole affair. The leads have a great banter and intellectual chemistry that lets everything else evolve naturally.

Even Cristobal as the wacky best friend is not out of place here and the other villains' in the story are not so intractable that you dont have at least some sympathy.

The legend of Our Lover will grow and will rank right up with the greats over time. I already know I will visit Irene and Carlos often and be glad to be caught up in the magic each time.
