Bed & Breakfast (2010)

The brazilian babe was great...she had a sweet demeanor and a certain charm that any gut could fall for except the dumb arse dean cain....oh, he might have been okay without his comic relief that was more of a more beer no show...big engvall made the film fail from the get go

Given the stuff being served to US college students over the last 20 years I'm amazed at the comments from some US reviewers about immaturity. (SPOILER ALERTS) Juliana Paes is an exotic Brazilian beauty and Dean Cain is, well, superman, so the mutual attraction would be understanding. However, it's not that simple, starting from the premise that they're both basically simple salt-of-the-earth types just trying to live decent lives. Juliana has worked herself up to the rank of department store supervisor, but then gets dumped on, by her beach bum boyfriend, her worthless brother, who borrows all the savings she can afford but ends up getting put in jail to escape his debt collectors and needs 8x that to clear his name, and finally her father, who dies leaving her half a million reais in debt (about 1000x the Brazilian minimum monthly wage at the time). The only salvation seems to be a property in a small California town that she's inherited from her grandmother.Dean is a handyman who has been dumped by his suddenly famous actress wife (who fell for her leading man) but was given a property that he is turning into a B&B - hence the title. The catch is that he was left the same property Juliana inherited, so something's gotta give. As it turns out, that's their resistance to one another, but of course there are plenty of complications, as well as side issues, along the way. I won't spoil it by saying how it all plays out, but it is all harmless fun of the kind you'd have expected from comedy back in the 60s (an era that produced some great films, so no need to sneer, post-millenniums). Kudos also for a brief comedy turn from Eric Roberts, who plays a swishy hotel reviewer, and Julia Duffy, whose mothering instincts are brought out by the B&B's owner.

Come on. I kind known to strike the film Brazil, because, despite having HD quality and everything else is amateur, has the most expensive advertising and novel than the movie. Movie film is that the U.S. (and the rest of the world) uses. And to prove that this movie was perfect: the transition of the footage from the U.S. to Brazil there is a clear difference, professional vs. amateur image. Marcio Garcia hit the partnership made ​​a simple and predictable movie, but well done (except for the Japanese scenes that are not thrown that way in public, and the final scene of Márcio that apparently needed to make merchan shampoo). While they are talking about, I enjoyed this romantic comedy. At least had a plot with a beginning, middle and end, and unlike many Brazilian films. I'm a fan of American movies, not like the movies Brazil. But I firmly believe that if you pay attention to this detail of the film would already be half way for me to start to change their minds. Pity that few people realize - and cares.

Not good, not dreadful . Bad editing and performances to a storyline with promise. Still watched and in a strange way , enjoyed. Two main characters did not hit it off on screen but both were not bad. Still worth a view if not paying for it. The problem is the editing and the beginning in two languages. It makes it disjointed .belief is most important in any movie. This does not have it. It has all the components but not the glue to join it up. It's a pity because I wanted to smile, laugh and wish the main characters well in the adventure.the backdrop was right. The mobiles seemed to work but the camera failed to deliver.
