Wand an Wand

I stumbled upon the original French Version some years ago and despite its silly premise I found the chemistry and film a delightful watch. Cut to 2024 seeing a new version on Netflix I was interested...

This film remake is missing the magic of the first one which is odd because it's mostly the same. It's just is very lacking.

This version offered nothing new which what's the point of making the exact same movie again with in my opinion actors who just didn't have the same chemistry.

Really if this film looks interesting to you just find the French version it's so much better. I would have people to see this version first and miss out.

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...

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.

Singers should be hired as singers not actors, and by doing so movies' quality will drastically improve. That being said and leaving the poor acting aside, the story, while pretty silly, is also kinda cute. And, actually, considering how poorly buildings are built I could even picture this happening in real life.

Photography is pretty simple, they could have done way better having a movie set in Madrid, which have a bunch of stunning spots.

Is it worth watching? That's completely up to you. I was expecting it to be bad and it didn't disappointed me but even being bad it's still easy to watch and therefore entertaining, somehow.
