Enjoyable yet Disappointing
21 September 2004
This movie was nice to watch and follow along. The story was decently done though at times far-fetched. The ending was a bit off, but if you like "happy" endings, then go for it. The disappointment comes from the fact that it barely follows Bayly's original novel. The original is much more realistic, easy-flowing, and well rounded. The sex scenes, I don't believe, were too much. They were similar or more graphic in the novel. But, like I said, the novel is more believable and much more enjoyable for its artistic merits of story telling and "truth telling". I suggest that all who can read Spanish get the book and read it if you haven't already. I don't know if it is in English or not. It is definitely worth the few dollars.
