    • Trivia
      Screenwriter Rafa Russo has a small role as the shoplifter.
    • Goofs
      At 16:24, when Victor leaves the bar, he's walking on left side of the street. In the next shot, he is on the right side of the street kicking a trash can. It is depicted as a continuous shot with no time in between, because the laugh dubbed in the back is continuous.

    starts out slow

    This movie started out a little too slow for me and I would have turned it off, but there was nothing else on that I wanted to see so I decided to give it a chance. And I'm glad I did. I won't bore you with the plot because you've probably read the other reviews. What I liked about this movie over other romantic comedies is that you never really know how it's going to end or who is going to end up together. Great use, by the way, of the tattered umbrella prop. Why can't Hollywood make comedies this unpredictable? Well, it seems I don't have enough lines for my review to be published yet so I'll tack something on here. If you like " What If" fables, this is the perfect movie for you. Similar to the movie "Sliding Doors" I found this movie much more satisfying.
