My wife and I had the opportunity to see the movie here in Bogota several months back. There is a good deal of humor, though an almost predictable ending. Great acting all around. Love the period home decoration. Excellent couples movie. I recommend to make it a romantic evening and go out for dinner as well. But I do not recommend taking the kids even if they are adults. more ›
