My opinion in spanish:
10 razones para engancharse
Sabía de la existencia de esta serie desde hace un tiempo pero como soy algo escéptica ante las versiones no me dio por verla hasta que me la recomendaron. Y a pesar de que creí estar cansada de las comedias americanas de instituto, ¡me encanta!
Atrae la personalidad de Kat (Lindsey Shaw): ingeniosa, luchadora, atrevida, diferente y defensora del medio ambiente y de los derechos humanos. Patrick Verona (Ethan Peck), por su parte, es irresistible y misterioso. Se nota altamente la química entre los dos. Este es uno de los ingredientes que engancha. Hay que aplaudir la interpretacion ya que han conseguido posicionarse al nivel de nuestros actores de la película a pesar de que el listón estaba bastante alto.
Se recomienda verla en versión original para poder escuchar la voz tan varonil, grave y sexy de Ethan Peck y la voz más firme y personal de Lindsey. Doblada pierde chispa y realismo para mi gusto.
Meaghan Jette Martin (Bianca) consigue captar la esencia del personaje quizás incluso mejor que su predecesora Larisa Oleynik. Pero voya dejar de comparar ya porque película y serie siguen en realidad ritmos diferentes y ambas son únicas.
Es una serie divertida y ágil que ha conseguido que me vea 17 capítulos seguidos en un día y que me la vuelva a ver, algo muy raro en mi.
Y es una gran pena que la cancelaran en su 20º capítulo, ahora sólo nos queda imaginar y hacer campaña. Aunque también puede vérsele la parte positiva ya que no ha dado tiempo a la decadencia que sufren todas las series cuando no queda más que alargar forzadamente.
12. Sugar Rush (I) (2005–2006)
24 min | Drama, Romance

You're not going to find here the perfect couple with a man and a woman with a highly beautiful love feelings between them. But I think that some of the characters of these amazing TV series have this feeling. You are going to find teenegers exploring their sexuality.

Maybe the spanish movie that I like the most.
My opinion in spanish:
Extrañamente difícil de olvidar
La interpretación de los protagonistas es excelente, inmejorable.
Y, aunque el comportamiento de los personajes no tiene sentido y me da rabia, me ha conmovido y me ha hecho pensar, me ha gustado bastante y tengo ganas de volver a verla, cosa extraña en mÍ. Y es la primera película que me ha animado a hacerle una crítica y una de las pocas que me ha llevado después de verla a leer muchas críticas de otras personas, porque, como os dije, me hizo pensar, y a recomendarla.
La banda sonora también me ha gustado.
SPOILER:
Opino que no tiene sentido, primero porque qué casualidad que los dos tan jóvenes vivan solos en la calle, por muy mal que estés con tu familia... en la m***** en la que se meten es de lo peor y sin necesidad… y de la que podrían salir (con lo jóvenes que son podrían encontrar un trabajo normal perfectamente…) y no les da la gana y me da rabia. Y no entiendo porqué el en un momento él le quiere dar a entender a ella que ya no la quiere.
Aun así me ha gustado y se me quedarán grabados la dureza de sus miradas, su manera tan fuerte de enfrentarlo todo y el amor que se percibe entre ellos.
La banda sonora también me ha agradado y el que "te follen" final impacta y es muy vulgar pero envía un mensaje claro.

I prefer this spanish adaptation to the book than the italian one. It's a fresh movie. Love between teenagers.
My opinion in spanish:
Fresca y bastante fiel, mucho mejor que la versión italiana
Tras acabar de leerme el libro me vi esta película y a continuación la versión italiana. Acto seguido hago esta crítica:
Esta película es un buen resumen, algunas escenas son copia de la versión italiana pero la española es más fiel al guión, más fiel a los elementos graciosos de éste y que ayudan más a caracterizar al personaje. En ambos protagonistas he podido ver el reflejo (aunque no del todo) de los protas del libro, esto no me ha sucedido con la otra versión. María Valverde le da el carácter que tiene Babi, Mario Casas pone el carisma, éste chico no me apasiona, quiero decir que no soy para nada de las que babearía por él pero este papel estaba muy ajustado a él, me ha gustado la elección. Y se ve que entre la pareja había química (por ello luego acabaron juntos en la vida real).
spoiler:
Algo a destacar es que esta película le quita gran carga de violencia que tiene el libro, así Hugo (Step) resulta enternecedor y una no acaba de comprender lo insensible que llega a ser Babi al final. E incluso añaden ese discurso que le da Hache(Step) al padre, que no encontramos en el libro, y omiten la partida de billar (en la versión italiana ponen tres partidas de billar cuando en el libro es sólo una, odio que añadan algo innecesario a consta de cargarse cosas más importantes).
La actriz que encarna a Catina (Pallina) le aporta a su personaje ese espíritu propio alocado (que no se lo da para nada la versión italiana) aunque a veces resulta demasiado exagerado el toque de adolescente pava que le da porque se nota que la actriz en realidad no está en esa etapa, pero me quedo con esta Pallina mucho antes que con la italiana aunque sea incoherente lo contenta que se pone cuando ve que le están robando (la española). El papel de la hermana (Daniela) está muy bien caracterizado, por cierto.
Hay ciertos cambios, como el tatuaje pero prefiero los cambios de esta película a los de la italiana. Y eso que en el guión de la italiana participó Federico Moccia, pero también es verdad que el autor quedó encantado con la fidelidad de la versión española.
Me han gustado mucho dos canciones de la BSO, la final y la de 'forever young', consiguen que la película te envuelva.
También se ve exagerada la reacción de Babi cuando está cuidando del niño, quizás. No entiendo porqué en ninguna de las pelis se ve la lámpara rota.
Y para demostrar que este Step es demasiado blando: cuando en el libro da una paliza tremenda, en la peli solo asusta (aunque se agradece) y dice cosas como "lo siento" (al hermano) o "Yo no tengo prisa, Babi", que no tendrían lugar en el libro, o la omisión de la secretaria y la más dura relación entre hermanos. En el libro resulta coherente que lo deje al final e incluso éste satisface, en contra de que Babi al principio es una incoherente tal y como le dice Step y no es normal que se enamore de alguien que no sigue sus principios y es tan excesivamente violento. En la peli, sin embargo, se ve súper natural que se enamore de aquel chico de apariencia chulesca pero que es buena gente y luego no tiene demasiado sentido que se vaya con el otro tan rápido.
Por cierto, la escena pez, la escena carrera de motos... me quedo con la frescura española. Aunque elijo a la Giaccia italiana y sus escenas antes que las españolas. Y la escena de cuando se encuentra con la madre no me convence tanto como en el libro.
Se nota que esperaba mucho más de la versión italiana ¿verdad?
