“I was ready to bail on this one early in the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAn insecure woman, working as a bartender in Mexico City, at a bar she sort of co-owns with her two friends. Sheu0026#39;s so insecure that she takes pictures of everything, mostly staged, and posts them on social media to make people think she is having a GREAT time, and living a GREAT life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHo hum.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe three women are practically drooling over a hot dude whou0026#39;s sitting at their bar. The insecure bartender makes a bet with them that she can make him fall in love with him, after they chide her about her suspected made up events.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTurns out heu0026#39;s quite drunk, giving her an excuse and opportunity to walk him back to his hotel.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat leads to a pretty predictable outcome. I had my hand on the remote, and was about to ask my date if we should just bail, but he looked like he was having a good time, and I just turned back toward the screen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, the first predictable outcome led to some less predictable outcomes. And thatu0026#39;s when I thought the film started to get a little more interesting. The guy is a looker, so that made it interesting too.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eShe has to follow him from Mexico to his home in Argentina to try to win the bet with her friends, because he hasnu0026#39;t fallen in love after that first encounter.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt starts to get really interesting when the dudeu0026#39;s mother arrives, and starts sizing things up. Interesting, and very entertaining as the plot thickens – and starts to twist like a bowl of spaghetti.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s lots of situation comedy, laughs and warmth to the movie. A very enjoyable RomCom.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUltimately, the movie is very funny, touching, and entertaining.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe ending didnu0026#39;t twist to quite where I expected. It turned out to be a very enjoyable evening, and Iu0026#39;m really glad I stuck with this one!”
