Great character! That's what love stories and romantic movies are about, and this movie has them in droves, from the airheaded Hungarian Princess played with gusto by Stacy Haiduk, to the doting grandmother played with non-stop motormouth by the great Lupe Ontiveros, "Gabriela" has great supporting characters. Of course, this would be nothing if the two leads, Mike and Gabriela weren't fully fleshed, three dimensional characters, and they are. A totally engrossing film.
