3/5 silver dollars in the Hoover Dam?
  by R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
Beautiful smart Mexican girls seem to be a discovery to
this New Yorker. The south west has been dealing with them
since the 19th century.
The culture clash here leads to some funny situations
where the men in suits meet the Mexican male
face to face? People with complete Mexican heritage
are still found everywhere in the south west
with close relatives in Mexico, but who also
speak native south west English and have college
educations. "Doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs" is the old phrase
that hold true here?
Anyway the New York fellow finds out she is more woman
than he has ever found in an east coast educated girl.
And she's having his baby...
I enjoyed the movie and it gave me some laughs
when the two cultures both find they are
dealing with their prejudices in an embarrassing way.

5/5 Matt Perry's Best
  by Robyn M. Witt (Huntington Beach, CA)
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Matthew Perry is fresh off of his first three seasons of Friends, at the peak of his career. His character Alex is funny, witty, charming, endearing and adorable. He plays very well off of Hayek's fiery and stubborn Isabel, and the two have excellent chemistry. I have watched this movie well over a hundred times since it came out (when I was only seven years old), and I enjoy it every time. The contrast of the cultures: Mexican American and typical Greenwich WASP, is amusing and heartening. The setting, the music, and the eternal optimism of a man in love makes this movie unforgettable. It's a unique story of chance and love. I fully recommend.

3/5 PLEASANT ENOUGH, BUT NOT VERY FUNNY OR ROMANTIC!

I'm sure most folks who really like this film are just big fans of the two leads. I enjoyed this film to a degree, but I can't remember laughing once or getting that "aw shucks" feeling either(this isn't such a bad thing!). The best moments in this film come when Perry meets Hayeks family, but overall this romantic comedy isn't all that romantic or comedic! It's been done a millions times before and if you like these types of films, there is no reason for you to miss this one either.

5/5 A wonderful movie!

This movie is over a decade old so it repeats a lot on TV, but I always end up catching only part of it. I decided to get this DVD so I can watch it from the very beginning. I'm glad I did. Two people from totally different background falling in love and dealing with issues that divide them. What a wonderful script! The dialogue moved. Great casting and great acting. I loved everything about this movie! I read one negative reviewer who said if you loved this movie, you must be 12-yrs old. Well, I'm 12-yrs many times over and I still love this movie! Is it realistic for condom to break and the girl to become pregnant? Why, yes! That's how I got pregnant with my daughter! That look on Matthew Perry's face when Salma Hayek told him that she was pregnant was exactly what my husband looked! And he thought I was just getting fat! This movie brought back a lot of memory. I loved it.
