Summary: Cute and Romantic...........
Review: Ésta es una apariencia divertida en la infidelidad. Penelope Cruz (Diana) es bella, como siempre. El director recrea unas pocas escenas de viejas películas románticas para ayudar a hacer esta historia. Tú podrías comenzar a pensar en amores que tú tuviste en el pasado. La película es un poco largo. La banda sonora de música acrecienta el romanticismo. Me gusta el uso de los Beatles en la historia - te ayude a entender la referencia de tiempo de la película. Ve la película con tu cariño. Tú no puedes remover los subtítulos de la película, desafortunadamente.

Summary: A Film that Touches Upon Life With Wit and Picardia
Review: I enjoyed this film over the holidays. It stars an the Spanish actress Penelope Cruz who manages to steal my breath away with her refreshing non-hollywoodish beauty. In the beginning, there was the Beatles and there is scene where she almost touches them- a real image of the beatles is used (i'm assuming from the 1965 era)...she steals into John Lennon's suite and plans to give herself to him but ends up hiding under a bed with the bellboy who she will casually encounter over the rest of her life; even as she loses that refreshing charm to become increasingly borgoueis and very much likea hollywood has been...the film captures the change and then returns to that refreshing beauty once more for a brief surprise towards the end...the film is charming, ful of wit and picardia; and should provide refreshing viewing from those tired of thetypical blockbuster rental...

Summary: charming movie
Review: this is a fine movie, one that will not dissapoint the legions of Penelope Cruz fans. It drags a bit in spots, but all in all it's an utterly charming movie. way better than "keith molin sucker punch!" (but without marilyn's recuperative properties)

Summary: THE WAY WE WERE
Review: Written and directed by Manuel Gómez Pereira in 1996, LOVE CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH is a spanish comedy presented by Vanguard in its original widescreen version with english subtitles. Only a trailer as bonus feature.

Santi and Diana first met under John Lennon's bed in Madrid while the Beatles were giving a press conference in a 5 star hotel. Over the years, the couple will meet again a number of times but their life together will not exceed a full week in a 30 years period. Santi and Diana are madly in love but who knows whether their love would have lasted so long if they had the opportunity to live together.

Four actors playing two characters, a couple of eccentric secondary parts and a few really hilarious scenes could persuade you to buy or rent this DVD. I've liked very much the first part of the movie that gives to Penélope Cruz the opportunity to create the character of a young hysterical Beatles fan. The director perfectly recreates the 60's with tricks that could have appeared in Robert Zemeckis' FORREST GUMP or Woody Allen's ZELIG.

The second part of the movie lacks of the energy distillated by Penélope and Gabino Diego. In my opinion, with 30 minutes less, the movie would have been a perfect romantic comedy. But LOVE CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH still is a very good surprise for the curious movie lover lost in the wide choice of the available DVD's.

A DVD zone Penélope reserved shelf.
