This is the most powerful movie I have ever seen. It has challenged my viewpoints in many areas. If you want to see something truly moving, go see Bella. The movie is centered on the abortion/adoption debate (it is pro-life) but it goes far beyond that. It is about Latino sterotypes, love, hope, gender roles, hard decisions, and happiness. It won the Toronto Film Festival's People's Choice Award in 2006 and features Eduardo Verástegui, who is one of People Magazine's Top 50 Most Beautiful People. I have previewed this movie twice now, a rough draft at the Latino Film Festival in San Diego and the final cut at the University of San Diego. ABC News calls this movie "A romantic drama.Mexican director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde's Bella tells the story of two people whose lives converge and turn upside down on a single day in New York. It has won the People's Choice Award, which is often an indicator of future Academy Award nominations." YOU WILL NOT REGRET SEEING THIS MOVIE!

This is a beautiful film! Bella is all about real life, love, and the decisions that last a lifetime. It was not what I expected, it was much better. It is definitely worth seeing & then seeing again.

True masculinitiy, tough yet tender, take charge, yet responsive, is rarely seen in Hollywood male leads, especially if the man is Latino. Eduardo Versastegui in his portrayal of "Jose" brings to life this rarely seen truly masculine man. Tammy Blanchard, a single woman in trouble on the mean streets of Manhattan, is outstanding as "Nina" the woman who has drawn into a protective shell as a reaction to the hardness of society, Will she be able to receive the tenderness offered by Jose and his loving family? Come and see the year's most amazing film, that swept the Toronto Film Festival, winning the coveted "Peopl'e's Choice Award" and discover the answer!

My girlfriend dragged me to a preview of this movie and I was expecting it to be a boring chick flick. I was totally surprised by how good it was and how much I liked it. Dudes -- if you want to earn major brownie points AND see a flick that you will actually like too, take your girl to see Bella!

If you consider yourself an intelligent, common-sense individual who likes thought-provoking ideas, controversy, laughs, and even moments of suspense and sorrow, all in a family-friendly, entertaining film, see this! You?ll quickly connect with the characters in this story. It?s about everyday people who haven?t been so good at making wise choices in life. Yet, the one right choice they made was huge! This film may challenge your paradigm. It tackles controversy head-on with truth, goodness, beauty, and love. It?s about heroic masculinity and femininity. Take your spouse, parents, grandparents, teens, and even your young children. And, it?s the only movie out there about sex that you can take your kids to see. You will walk out of this movie moved as well as entertained! You?ll be filled with hope and challenged to emulate the heroic virtues lived out by the film?s characters. Go ahead! Treat yourself to a good movie for once! Bella is beautiful in every way for everyone.
