andrewfleming-57891 This film is very disappointing. Like most Woody Allen films the jokes arent very funny at all. It also lacks originality. The acting is okay. Bardem is very charming, but Cruz is by no means oscar worthy. Her character just shouts for most of her scenes, but in a forgettable way. The film lacks greatness, there is nothing for the viewer to real focus on enjoying. As a result it becomes a mammoth bore whilst also failing to do what all comedies should do; entertain.

h-abdollapuri I not only have problem with this movie but in general with many similar movies with the similar theme that try to show successful nice family-oriented men as boring husbands who their wife cheat on them. Is this how women are? If so, then no man should get married. I mean what is the point of getting married if your wife prefers a jobless weird charming guy over you? Moreover, this movie promotes a valueless life style in which humans should not have any value and they should do whatever they like to do. This is sickness. We humans stop ourselves from some short-term joys (like drinking too much sugar drinks) to make our life healthier in long term. Of course drinking Coca is enjoyable but it is not worth the problems which come after it. Then, why having the same values for life is boring? Of course sleeping with every single attractive people could be physically enjoyable but what about the long-term happiness in our life when we need to feel happy deep inside?This movie is pure sickness!

Zac Keir This movie is a masterpiece especially if you are into Art. After watching the film you will notice how much we are wasting our precious time and money on watching those Superheroes movies which give us an hour of pleasure and nothing else, The writer shows us the real angle of the life and love plus it forces us to think about how much we will be happy if we try not to label relationships and forget about what is right and wrong in Love and love each other with pure Heart then imagine how much our life will be peaceful and beautiful. Woody Allen tried to explain the things we barely imagine about it and these things are LOVE LOVE LOVE without rules. Now as a filmmaking student, To me everybody did his/her job with 100% passion. from writing to Music, Directing, and Acting everything is perfect. in my head, I was thinking about Javier Bardem as a villain but in this romantic movie he nails it and proved that he can fit in every act. while watching the movie I was thinking to give this movie 10 stars but the only thing which held me was the ending, maybe from my perspective but Anyway I give it 9 stars and everyone should appreciate this kind of work.

tstudstrup Do not believe the 7 stars this movie gets. I'm guessing this is enjoyed by Americans that are too lazy for subtitles and they accept this politically correct lame attempt at copying Pedro Almodovar. The reason I compare the two directors is because this movie takes place almost entirely in Spain, it has Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz in it. And the plot could have been fun had the master Almodovar directed it. Let's pretend that this was actually made by Almodovar. No annoying narrator. The two American girls would have went with Javier on his friends plane without Hall judging him and turning him down. They would have had sex in a passionate threesome and the girls would have shown their tits (or in Rebecca Halls case, lack of tits) and Javier would have sucked on them. Penelope would have shown up and one of the girls (Hall) would have ended up dead. And the others would have buried her and maybe gotten away with it. There would have been lots of Spanish dishes with references to sex. The characters would have acted immorally. Sex and lust and desire would have been what have driven the story forward. And it would have been fun to watch. In Allens movie the so called sex-scenes are reduced to kissing, one time in slo-mo (what the hell Allen??) And after the sex which is always skipped the women cover up their tits from the man they just had sex with. Oh and apparently in Spain artists are rich and successful. As one of Javiers artist friends own a small plane. And of course Javier can fly it and lives in a very nice villa and he has a sportscar. It's ridiculous. And don't even get me started on the fact that Scarletts character just accepts it when Javier brings home ihis psychotic ex girlfriend who tried to kill him. A normal girl would have packed her bags and left. But not only does Scarlett stay. The three of them eventually becomes lovers until Scarlett gets restless for no reason at all, except that that is how her character is suppose to be and leaves them. So Hall can come back into the Picture with Javier.Come on, Allen, that's just poor writing. It's also bigot and racist the way Spanish people are portrayed as irresponsible passionate people who only care about sex and never about the consequenses. Yes that is also how they behave in Almodóvars movies, but its in a bizare yuniviverse and it's pure comedy. This movie however tries to come off as a serious drama. Where the uptight Americans in the movie are the ones acting like people should be acting. The fact that Javier and Cruzes characters have that love/hate relationship, Means that they will never be happy. According to Allen. But at least they have passion and are alive, unlike the boring Americans. What made it possible for me to suffer through this snooze fest, is the stunning Johannson and absolutely beautiful Cruz. The chemistry between Javier and Johansson and between Javier and Cruz is amazing and very real. Hall, however, is too tall, flat chested, boring and annoying and the kind of woman I would slap around as she's judgmental bitch from the get-go of the movie. Her character was not needed and had she not been in in the movie, it would have been more fun. Also the fact that Hall and Johansson are best friends as they're complete opposites, is not believable. Also they're clearly at different stages in their life and Hall seems to be 10 years older than Scarlett. Avoid this and watch Jamon Jamon instead by Almodovar. And also with Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, only with passionate sex scenes, Spanish food, horny people behaving irresponsibly and lots of fun.
