6.5/10 (Recommend)
This movie pretty much met the expectations I had for it. Based on the trailer and poster photo I felt it was going to be simple, cute, and a little endearing. I couldn't really ask for much more.
The chemistry of the actors was good and turned into adorable by the end. I do wish that perhaps they met sooner, and therefore things went differently at the concert hall, but you can't have two adorable moments so it does work out.
The story is nothing special, but is still endearing. The two meet as neighbours on a very rocky start and slowly develop a connection that becomes more true as time goes on. The music though a little repetitive works perfectly with all that is going on. It's the basis for the film to work.
The thing that irked me most is how the subtitles worked with the spoken word. I don't know Spanish, but I could make out enough that what was being said, and what was being translated, did not add up. Easy example would be, the spoken word is "Óscar", but the translation is "hi" or "hey". Others are full phrases that I can't remember off the top of my head, but would be out of synch or not seem to show up when the word was being said.
Overall, this is a very average film at 6/10. Nothing is special about it, but it will make you feel the love. Don't expect to cry or well up, but you'll feel the cute emotions if your heart will let you. It's also a little funny at times and that's why I liked it. I would definitely watch it again.
That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

Love divided. In spain, it's pared con pared, which roughly means wall to wall! Two neighbors in apartments with very thin walls drive each other crazy. She plays piano, and he is working on some loud, mechanical thing which makes a racket. They get on each other's nerves, and they still haven't even met face to face! Some humor. Mostly sight gags and pratfalls. I'm thinking the translation wasn't the greatest. Grammatically, it's fine, but it's sometimes quite stilted and serious. Will they ever meet? Can two people, each with their own issues, get together and have a normal relationship ? Directed by patricia font. The version on netflix usa has sound issues... goes loud then real quiet during the first half. According to imdb, it's a remake of the french film blind date. En françe, it's un peu beaucoup aveuglément, which means "a little too blindly". I've looked for the french version, but it doesn't seem to be available. It's okay.
8.0 stars.
A man and woman are neighbors and soon discover they can hear each other through the wall that separates their apartments. It's a challenge at first, they don't get along at all. As time goes by, they become friends, and maybe more than friends...but they've never met face to face. Weeks pass as they continue their relationship this way.
Yet another outlier for me. All the reviews are showing thumbs mostly down as far as I can tell. Maybe this movie doesn't float the boat for the majority, but I was absolutely enthralled. The dubbing is done to near perfection. The voices used are really good and fit the personalities of the players to a tee. The lead male is good at his role as a shut-in hermit type who has been that way since his fiance died a few years ago. The lead female's performance is equally as good, portraying a woman struggling with confidence issues and trying to get her life in order. She's an amazing pianist, and he's a toy inventor.
The music is magnificent, so watch this just for that alone.
I don't agree with the opinion that the performances misfire. Quite the opposite. Maybe the dubbing makes it better? I don't know, but I really like all the actors a lot. I can't figure out what makes this such an entertaining and heartfelt movie for me, but it is what it is. I enjoyed it.

Singers should be hired as singers not actors, and by doing so movies' quality will drastically improve. That being said and leaving the poor acting aside, the story, while pretty silly, is also kinda cute. And, actually, considering how poorly buildings are built I could even picture this happening in real life.
Photography is pretty simple, they could have done way better having a movie set in Madrid, which have a bunch of stunning spots.
Is it worth watching? That's completely up to you. I was expecting it to be bad and it didn't disappointed me but even being bad it's still easy to watch and therefore entertaining, somehow.

I've decided to watch this movie because i love romantic comedies and more importantly i'm learning Spanish. As i was trying to understand the language, the story didn't bother me. Actually this story had a great potential but seems like wasted. Bad acting and lack of chemistry is to blame, but not so terrible that makes you shut it in the middle. If you decide to wach it, don't take it so seriously and give it a go if you have nothing better to do, it's like a Hallmark movie more or less. But if you're after some fancy movie that you'd want to tell your friends about, you can just pass it. The story is actually funny.
