blrnani Given the stuff being served to US college students over the last 20 years I'm amazed at the comments from some US reviewers about immaturity. (SPOILER ALERTS) Juliana Paes is an exotic Brazilian beauty and Dean Cain is, well, superman, so the mutual attraction would be understanding. However, it's not that simple, starting from the premise that they're both basically simple salt-of-the-earth types just trying to live decent lives. Juliana has worked herself up to the rank of department store supervisor, but then gets dumped on, by her beach bum boyfriend, her worthless brother, who borrows all the savings she can afford but ends up getting put in jail to escape his debt collectors and needs 8x that to clear his name, and finally her father, who dies leaving her half a million reais in debt (about 1000x the Brazilian minimum monthly wage at the time). The only salvation seems to be a property in a small California town that she's inherited from her grandmother.Dean is a handyman who has been dumped by his suddenly famous actress wife (who fell for her leading man) but was given a property that he is turning into a B&B - hence the title. The catch is that he was left the same property Juliana inherited, so something's gotta give. As it turns out, that's their resistance to one another, but of course there are plenty of complications, as well as side issues, along the way. I won't spoil it by saying how it all plays out, but it is all harmless fun of the kind you'd have expected from comedy back in the 60s (an era that produced some great films, so no need to sneer, post-millenniums). Kudos also for a brief comedy turn from Eric Roberts, who plays a swishy hotel reviewer, and Julia Duffy, whose mothering instincts are brought out by the B&B's owner.

Jack Vasen Juliana Paes is a sizzling Brazilian actress and this movie plays to her strengths without crossing over into nudity. Sometimes Juliana is preening for effect and at other times she manages to inject some heart and compassion into her lines.Dean Cain does his best to support Paes. He is supposed to look like a typical man who is overly impressed by the sexy lady and therefore looks a little clumsy. In the romantic moments he holds up his end but doesn't shine.It is a pleasant enough love story and of course we know how it has to end. There are really no twists or surprises.However the ending doesn't totally make sense since it never explains how Ana will get the money she needs to pay her debt, but who knows, maybe the place is worth enough to mortgage it. Also, she leaves abruptly and must still think that Jake is making up to his wife and that she may no longer be the ex, but Ana comes back anyway. Maybe we are supposed to believe she came back for love of the countryside.It's a romance story, so those frequently don't make sense.

croftonjohn Not good, not dreadful . Bad editing and performances to a storyline with promise. Still watched and in a strange way , enjoyed. Two main characters did not hit it off on screen but both were not bad. Still worth a view if not paying for it. The problem is the editing and the beginning in two languages. It makes it disjointed .belief is most important in any movie. This does not have it. It has all the components but not the glue to join it up. It's a pity because I wanted to smile, laugh and wish the main characters well in the adventure.the backdrop was right. The mobiles seemed to work but the camera failed to deliver.

GB McKee I only put spoiler alert because it is so simply obvious that the movie attempts to telegraph what's about to happen.Juliana does a stellar job with facial expressions and sincerity, especially since her lines were apparently written by a 10 year old. A number of times, just when the movie appears to be making sense and following an understandable path, it slides off into tired and confusing situations.While I personally like movies with surprises, this one is surprising only in that it simply can't make any sense.If you have Netflix, and it doesn't cost to watch streaming, and you have housework to do, it might do for white noise, otherwise, don't bother.
