        Definitely a more reasonable, smartly written, and all around funny romantic comedy.

        Cute but predictable.

        This movie hit so many of the issues that people face in intercultural relationships. The genuineness of Alex's character is cleverly off set by his jaded pal, just as is Isabel's in her parallel circumstance. Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek portray two very unlikely people to ever fall in love but they do .. after she gets pregnant from a one-night stand! Hayek and Perry are so convincing as Isabel and Alex. The movie had an excellent message; for a relationship to work, each partner must give more than they take. The music is a fabulous aspect of the film. The numerous musical selections that appear throughout the movie are perfectly selected to express the lovers' emotions and situations of the moment. It is truly, sheer delight!

        "You will never know love unless you surrender to it". My main reason for renting this movie was because I started to watch Friends and Matthew Perry was hilarious in it so I decided to get this, and you know what I was ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY not dissapointed. You know it was still the same type of movie Matthew Perry would do but at the same time this movie was funny but a touching love story. Matthew Perry will forever be my fave, and he always will be! :) Salma Hayek is a good actress herself too.
