Pretty bad.......2006-07-29

I watched this because I love Barbara Mori, who is fine in this movie but not given much of an interesting part. Most of it follows De La Torre as he mopes and moons over Mori's character and tries to conquistarla although she's entirely not interested. Rather than coming off as sweet or funny, De La Torre just seems dorky (even more so than the suave "nerd" best friend, who is just skinny), annoying, and pathetic (and not that good-looking, although his character is supposed to be all that). None of his stunts to try to win her over are all that outrageous or comical either. In the ending, which defies believability, some cheap psychological mumbo-jumbo is supposed to win the girl over, although what she really ought to do is file a restraining order.

Inspiracion.......2005-10-10

In the beginning I hesitated whether to buy the movie or not. But when I did. I was surprised in a good way. It is a sweet romantic movie. Although it is slow and the acting is not of an oscar material, but the story and the way that the movie was directed, would make you forget the above. I recommend this movie as it has comedy & romance.

Really Funny!.......2005-08-03

Alright, well I thought this movie was really funny. I don't like chick flicks and this was def not one. The main character's friends are hillarious; really life-like...as in they would be any guy's best friends. They are always making fun of the main character and setting him up with horrible, annoying women. The movie was quite entertaining and not a waste of time. Watch it if you want to see a light comedy/romance movie. It's great!

Nice scenery but... .......2005-07-18

'Inspiración' isn't. For those who have the patience to sit through this Mexican extended novella, discovering that other countries are capable of producing the kind of summer chick flick messes that Hollywood cranks out ad infinitum will be the surprising reward. Written and directed by Angel Mario Huerta and starring a group of Mexican TV actors, 'Inspiración' has little to recommend it.

A group of Macho guys (supposedly teenagers although all of the actors are obviously aged well beyond that!) with little on their minds except dating, doing the club scene, sporting wagers about girls as though the girls were game-things for goals, spur on the naive Gabriel (Arath de la Torre) to pursue a beauty he merely glimpses and gets a first name Alejandra (Bárbara Mori). Gabriel in 'inspired' to write poetry (not a pastime appropriate to macho men...) in response to Alejandra, has a confrontation with his father that begins with the usual flair of son not living up to father ideals and ends with a complete reversal of tears and forgiveness..., and is rigged into assignation with his 'inspiration'. Each move Gabriel makes to woo Alejandra results in disaster in situations intended to be humorous but that are really just gross or silly.

It is the old, tired story of boy meets girl, boy falls all over himself to impress, girl initially responds but is gradually repulsed by boy's insipid arrogance and behavior, boy looses hold on girl, and eventually boy gets girl. Yes, that is it! The acting is almost as weak as the script and direction and while some of the actors are attractive people, they have no sense of comedy or love chemistry or charisma. The film is overproduced, with more emphasis on décolletage than on character development, and in the end the only saving grace is seeing Monterey, Mexico and surrounding areas to advantage. Definitely a class B movie that probably should not have been exported. 92 long minutes in length and with English subtitles. Grady Harp, July 05

What a Waste!.......2005-06-27

Beware! Watching this DVD will be a big waste of your time, unless, of course, you enjoy inane screenplays. Not even Barbara Mori's good looks can redeem this turkey, which barely deserves 2 stars. Que plomo!
