Reviews
Though set at present, this schmaltzy romantic comedy might as well have been set in the 1950s or even 1930s, because at heart it's a Capra comedy of the Depression, celebrating the decency of the "little people," but in a phony, contrived way.
Best romance ever. Real, genuine characters with real, developed relationships. Not insulting, not cutesy, just wonderful.
Adult fairy tale that will make you feel giddy and glad to be alive.
A grande atuação é de Rosie Perez, que faz uma vilã deliciosa. Chega a dar vontade de entrar no filme e dar uns bons cascudos na antipática Muriel.
