Loved it! Loved the characters, loved the setting, loved the music, loved it!

Vicky Cristina Barcelona opened today, on August 15th, yet people on this website have been reviewing it since July 27th. I'd truly like to hear from people who have actually seen this movie. My rating is MUST GO because I believe one has to go to the movie, and see it, before they can offer anything credible to say.

How disappointing. I want to say that it's my fault, that my expectations were too high or that I wasn't in the mood for a...somewhat romantic-comedyish book -on- tape with an overcooked plot line that (Inserts ******* scene here)? But realistically, the whole thing was just kind of tiresome. The only thing more annoying than the narrator's inflection (why was there a narrator??) was the fact that Penelope Cruz won an oscar... for playing Penelope Cruz.

"Vicky Christina Barcelona" is the greatest movie I have seen this year, and maybe the rest of my life. This love story so closely portrays what love in the real world truly is, not in movies. The actors are all amazing, the locations are breathtaking and the art is beautiful. Woody will forever be my favorite director and my greatest influence. If you are familiar with his work or any of the other actors' work, you will like the movie. If you like good love stories or a sexy adventurous story about passionate people, you will also like the movie. If you like tragedy and suffering, you will also like the film. YOU WILL LIKE THE FILM PERIOD! Must Go!

Leave the kids at home..and enjoy,smart ,sexy acting...Penelope Cruz gets another Academy Award nomination!...Have a feeling that the poor ratings are from movie watchers sitting there with their spouses, squirming in their seats..daydreaming about what COULD have been..if they had actually not just played it SAFE in life!!!
