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.

8.0 stars.
A man and woman are neighbors and soon discover they can hear each other through the wall that separates their apartments. It's a challenge at first, they don't get along at all. As time goes by, they become friends, and maybe more than friends...but they've never met face to face. Weeks pass as they continue their relationship this way.
Yet another outlier for me. All the reviews are showing thumbs mostly down as far as I can tell. Maybe this movie doesn't float the boat for the majority, but I was absolutely enthralled. The dubbing is done to near perfection. The voices used are really good and fit the personalities of the players to a tee. The lead male is good at his role as a shut-in hermit type who has been that way since his fiance died a few years ago. The lead female's performance is equally as good, portraying a woman struggling with confidence issues and trying to get her life in order. She's an amazing pianist, and he's a toy inventor.
The music is magnificent, so watch this just for that alone.
I don't agree with the opinion that the performances misfire. Quite the opposite. Maybe the dubbing makes it better? I don't know, but I really like all the actors a lot. I can't figure out what makes this such an entertaining and heartfelt movie for me, but it is what it is. I enjoyed it.

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 Blind Date (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...

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.
