Four to Dinner

I am genuinely surprised from this movie.

From the trailer, I wasn't expecting it to turn out the way it did in terms of developing the story, it may look confusing but I think that the beauty of this movies lies in between this confusion.

It does not give you any certainty, it gives you a range of possibilities, each one of them as valid as the other. Prepare yourself to change your mind about soulmates, or to have your opinion confirmed.

Love is strange. You must remember the name and the character clearly when watching this movie. In this movie, the two different scenarios are switching too fast that some people may be confused by it. Every time I switched, I thought about the condition whether it was paired by the host or the hostess. In short, love is always messy, and it may be smooth at the beginning, but after going around in circles, it turns out that she/he is not too bad. Does soulmate really exist? In most cases it doesn't. A perfect match probably doesn't exist, too, because people are independent individuals, and everyone has their own personality. You like dogs, he/she likes cats, you like the sea, and he/she likes mountains. The real situation in life is that love eventually becomes family affection, and family affection is also mixed with a little love. Most family makes do and mends for each other, and they make it work together almost as a team...

This isn't your typical rom-com. It isn't cheesy, it's rather thought-provoking and the dialogue is well-written. It tries to explore the idea of a soulmate by giving it a new meaning, but fails to accomplish the depth it's trying to reach. The editing and the pacing make it complicated to follow at times. I had to pause while watching just to process what exactly was happening in each storyline. There must be a better way of organizing this because it just ends up being so much more confusing than it ever should be.

The plot starts off quite interesting. Characters are well presented, music is top notch.

But at some point the plot becomes very confusing and that makes the movie a bit weak.

But ti's a nice movie and I fall in love with Matilde character and actress.

Surely there was someway to make this a little bit less confusing. Love the characters. Cinematography could have been better, direction was somewhat lacking. It's a good idea but I think it was almost a failure.
