After reading a few reviews and hearing that it was similar to "Simply Irresistable," I thought this would be a good romantic movie. (Whoever said it was like "Simply Irresistable" is crazy.) It had some romantic moments, but overall this was very depressing, and frustrating, with a mother that drove you mad.
I would not recommend this movie.
May 26, 2008This is one of my favorite movies. I had it on VCR and wanted to but the DVD in case th VCR wears out. It offers a cultural insite, is funny, sad, sexual and a really good story line.
April 17, 2008i love this movie. its passionate and not a cheesy love story. i wanted some food after watching this movie! :p
April 7, 2008Just purchased this on DVD already own the video and make a point of watching it at least one a year. What an amazing love story, actually the entire story is amazing I absolutely LOVE this movie and would rather than lend it out have quests for the evening Like Water For Choclate being the main attraction, that and my famous garlic ladened popcorn.
April 7, 2008 |  | An Odyssey Into Another Culture |  |
The roots of cultural divergence along the U.S. and Mexican border can be found here in this bittersweet story. The way of the old traditions are swept away by the Mexican Revolution of 1910 at a hacienda sited next to Texas. Long term care for old age was not provided by insurance, but by the youngest child. Love and war and refuge across the Rio Grande challenge the old assumption. Love triumphs at the end but with cost of family. Those of us who have lived along this border all our lives can appreciate the complexity of life where very different cultures co-exist and struggle to retain a sense of identity. Those who have not experienced this phenomena may gain an understanding not just of culture, but of the stories behind the headlines of today. This is a beautiful story well told by the magic of film. The only complaint is the lack of sync between dubbed English and the spoken Spanish.
