    summary

    This was a comedy with melodrama acting, it made sense that it was weird, odd and original. No it wasn't the best movie i've seen but it's a great movie. When I see a foreign movie I don't identify the Place by the characters. Just like "Y Tu Mama Tambien" Mexicans don't usually jerk off in pools and have sex with their best friends. To me this movie was a sample of some kids being kids, immature at times yet at the same time in the middle of being adults and trying to share their new experiences with their old friends. When the main character tried to share his poems with his buddies, you can relate to that and at the same time you know that the guy that made fun of him wasn't going to be his long time friend, it has happened to all of us. Case in point,it's a comedy don't take it so seriously and its a movie, lighten up.

    Popcurn fun for a date. Should work.

    I wish all my dates would end like this!

    I mean, the plot is oriented for the upper social classes in México let me tell you. The places where the couple visit are really expensive and exclusive but I guess the director's intention was to display how love can come across all barriers.

    Barbara Mori is simply spectacular on her looks; she's extremely sexy, hot and she can also act. The chemistry between her and De la Torre worked perfect for the movie because it looked like both had a great time working together.

    I can recommend this movie for a first date; it will do some magic. Otherwise, just watch it when it airs on t.v. it's not worth your money.

    "Inspiración" is part of México's new way of making romantic comedies.

    Great movie, Excelente Pelicula

    I think this is a great movie, I am Mexican, thus i really get the point of the movie, i find that it really represents a Mexican situation of dating, and that kind of things.

    Its a great romantic movie, but at the same time its a great comedy, you laugh all the time, i love Arath De la Torre's actuation, i found it really original and very comic In a simple way. Rodrigo Oviedo's actuation, as Gabriel friend, is also great.. its the first movie I see both of them and like the just natural touch they have.

    I really recommend this movie. You will find a different romance / comedy movie, In which you will also get different kind of messages not just the love story but family relations.

    A good Movie.

    I have read many comments about this one, and i agree a little maybe the acting inst that good, and the lead actors are the ones that attract people to watch this movie, Barbara is one of the hottests women on earth. But if you see this is like a independent Mexican movie, and there are totally pointless movies that have better critics than this one like lost in translation.

    Inspiracion could be better i cant deny that, but what it shows makes the point, if you are Latin you can get the jokes, and i know you don't have to be intelligent to catch this one, but you have to be it to catch any romantic movie?

    I had a good time watching this movie, this a good Mexican alternative and attempt a great movie. With a good message if you get it. i loved it for that. Give it a shoot, don't expect an Oscar , Mexican movies are growing

    Inspires only big yawns, although the performers and the scenery are attractive

    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.
