Un appuntamento con il destino

Saw this last night - couldn't finish it. I like rom com's and I understand they can be contrived but this was just too awkward and clumsily written. I couldn't get over how stiff the acting was by the male lead - it's not often you notice bad acting and I had to look up the movie online (that's what got me here) and then read the back story that they wrote the movie and are actually married. That explains it. No way he would have gotten a callback if he had auditioned. Sorry but his acting really ruined it for me. B

I've only watched this movie last night on a rental cd.

From the cd cover itself, I expected this to be somethin' like a romance scene in Venice Canal - ah, you know what i mean. And I was wrong! ( I like to be wrong on my movie expectations. Je-je-je! ).

This is a unique rom-com. ... funny, romantic, sentimental, dramatic with a hint of reality.

One thing that amazes me ... I never thought Portuguese are this conservative and superstitious.

I really am not familiar with the actors/actresses in this movie. But they played their parts very well. From the main characters, to the girl's family, the the guy's side kick and even the fortune teller - I'd really say their acting is awesome!

Watch this people. You'll thank me when you do.

Seriously. I don't think I've ever seen less believable acting that Ryan Scott's. Within 10 minutes I'm annoyed with every line he utters. It's wooden and stiff... It's just bad acting!

Jeannette Sousa isn't all that bad, but also not really convincing.

I bet the story line is somewhat fun, but I just can't stomach it. Do not recommend.

This was an enjoyable, cute and funny movie. Not the greatest, but fun enough. I'm sure that some will compare this to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and some comparisons are apt.

Maria is beautiful, and charming and extremely quirky. And she snores. Jack is one of those earthy guys who doesn't let anything go by without making a joke. Maria's family is very traditional. Her father would be tough on any man.

This movie is about the two falling in love, and about trying to make it work in a family where everything is stacked against Jack from the start. The two have so many differences that you would think they would be better off with someone else.

There are funny moments, and sweet moments.

Excellent and original. If you like Jennifer Aniston romantic comedies, nothing wrong with that, but, um, this is very different
