Wand an Wand

Communication these days and dating for the youngsters can start on screens so a wall is not so weird

The story here is really very sweet a kind of feel-good Romcom with the usual oh no we are making a mistake leading to denouement.

The 2 main actors are excellent. Not being Spanish or watching Spanish TV was not aware that the leading lady is a They've Got Talent type singer; she is good here also quite a beauty which will please all male viewers no doubt

The main male player is also very good as are all the ancillaries

The film is based on a 2015 French story and film Mit dem Herz durch die Wand (2015) I will have a look at that one see what the differences are; but the Spanish one here stands on its own perfectly; and if you do not know it is a copy and paste it feels really original

Within the EU now you see many films being reworked to GER ITA SPA Fr etc wherever the original happened; it usually works fairly well. It does here.

She's a young pianist preparing for an audition. He is a game inventor who can only concentrate in complete silence. Separated by only a paper-thin wall in conjoined apartments, will they learn to live in harmony with one another? Will romance blossom through the wall?

At a time when humor was not common in western films, this one won me over. Even its soundtrack is delightfully funny, with a modern and contemporary aura... And the eternal magic of transforming criminals, murderers and thieves into national heroes, with a lot of sympathy and ''honesty''. The two handsome protagonists and the beautiful Kath Ross (enigmatic ending) have perfect chemistry, a lean script that doesn't let it get boring, everything is well produced, it has aged elegantly...

6.5/10 (Recommend)

This movie pretty much met the expectations I had for it. Based on the trailer and poster photo I felt it was going to be simple, cute, and a little endearing. I couldn't really ask for much more.

The chemistry of the actors was good and turned into adorable by the end. I do wish that perhaps they met sooner, and therefore things went differently at the concert hall, but you can't have two adorable moments so it does work out.

The story is nothing special, but is still endearing. The two meet as neighbours on a very rocky start and slowly develop a connection that becomes more true as time goes on. The music though a little repetitive works perfectly with all that is going on. It's the basis for the film to work.

The thing that irked me most is how the subtitles worked with the spoken word. I don't know Spanish, but I could make out enough that what was being said, and what was being translated, did not add up. Easy example would be, the spoken word is "Óscar", but the translation is "hi" or "hey". Others are full phrases that I can't remember off the top of my head, but would be out of synch or not seem to show up when the word was being said.

Overall, this is a very average film at 6/10. Nothing is special about it, but it will make you feel the love. Don't expect to cry or well up, but you'll feel the cute emotions if your heart will let you. It's also a little funny at times and that's why I liked it. I would definitely watch it again.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

I've decided to watch this movie because i love romantic comedies and more importantly i'm learning Spanish. As i was trying to understand the language, the story didn't bother me. Actually this story had a great potential but seems like wasted. Bad acting and lack of chemistry is to blame, but not so terrible that makes you shut it in the middle. If you decide to wach it, don't take it so seriously and give it a go if you have nothing better to do, it's like a Hallmark movie more or less. But if you're after some fancy movie that you'd want to tell your friends about, you can just pass it. The story is actually funny.

Love divided. In spain, it's pared con pared, which roughly means wall to wall! Two neighbors in apartments with very thin walls drive each other crazy. She plays piano, and he is working on some loud, mechanical thing which makes a racket. They get on each other's nerves, and they still haven't even met face to face! Some humor. Mostly sight gags and pratfalls. I'm thinking the translation wasn't the greatest. Grammatically, it's fine, but it's sometimes quite stilted and serious. Will they ever meet? Can two people, each with their own issues, get together and have a normal relationship ? Directed by patricia font. The version on netflix usa has sound issues... goes loud then real quiet during the first half. According to imdb, it's a remake of the french film blind date. En françe, it's un peu beaucoup aveuglément, which means "a little too blindly". I've looked for the french version, but it doesn't seem to be available. It's okay.
