If you're a girl and want to see a movie that will make you both hesitant and enthralled at the prospect of going to Spain, this is the one. It's about an American woman who goes to Spain to write a book about machismo. However, she doesn't really understand men at all--nor does she speak Spanish. While trying to steer clear of come-ons from Spanish men both creepy and sexy, she begins to form a friendship with her irritating interpreter. However, a mystery from her parents' past keeps her from opening up to him completely.I thought this movie was quite good. There was a great combination of drama and comedy, mixed with sometimes serious, sometimes funny contemplation on the machismo of Spanish men. There was romance, there was a hint of mystery, there was beautiful scenery. I think I would be tempted to see some more films by the Canadian writer-director-star, Daphna Kastner.
Rating: 3.5
