Sofia: I'm very disappointed in you Max. First, you break into my apartment. Then, you hit a girl.
Max: Your not mad at me about hitting Kenny?
Sofia: No, that one I can forgive. He's a pervert and he should be stopped. But, I don't want you hitting Charlie. If she tries to kiss you, kiss her back.
Max: No way!
Sofia: Women don't like men who give in too easily. Trust me. She kisses you because she loves a challenge.
Max: Why?
Sofia: Because... because women are like locas. That's why.
Max: I thought she kisses me because she thinks I'm cute.

Great movie for romantics, 2 September 2005
7/10
Author: (sarcomage@yahoo.com) from Plantation, FL, United States

I saw this movie as part of The Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival. Although the movie had many technical issues (e.g., the boom is visible in about 30% of the film), I was so won over by the storyline and the characters that I forgot about them. The difficulty of making a good romantic comedy is that the format is standardized (guy meets girl, guy loses girl, guy gets girl). Given that, it is probably a little harder to suspend disbelief for those that are not romantics themselves. I really enjoyed this movie and I recommend it for those that like their romantic comedies with a little bit of wit and intelligence.

Note: I hate to write reviews that boil down to, "People who like this sort of thing will like this.", but there it is.
