Vicky Christina Barcelona – Movie Review

 Let me start by saying this a total chick flick. I actually watched this with a perfect stranger who happened to be sitting next to on the plane on my way out to San Diego last week.  The dude’s name was Michael, he was 25 years old & about 1/3 of the way through the movie looked at me & said, “you know what, Grace, I think I’m just gonna kick back & listen to some tunes.”  lol.  Why is it that men have no tolerance for chick flicks?

Anyway, of course I decided on this one because Penelope Cruz won the Academy Award (& about a million others) for best supporting actress.  Also, I love her.  

The film is about two girls who go to Spain for awhile.  One of them is reserved & engaged to be married.  The other is wildly promiscuous and trying to find herself.  Enter hottie, Javier Bordem & his crazy x-wife, Penelope Cruz.  

It was cute & funny, if not a little wierd.  There’s a voiceover throughout the whole film.  Overall, it was a fun ride.  Recommend for the ladies at least. 🙂
