Really underrated!!!, 15 March 1999
10/10
Author: bato-2 from Nogales, Arizona

I don´t know why this movie had such a low rating!!!

In fact, I would give it at least an 8. The plot is good, the acting is better, but comedy ain´t the best. Anyway this is a really good romantic movie, perhaps a little off reality, but it is still well developed. We should really raise this rating. And I mean it!!
