I've only watched this movie last night on a rental cd.From the cd cover itself, I expected this to be somethin' like a romance scene in Venice Canal - ah, you know what i mean. And I was wrong! ( I like to be wrong on my movie expectations. Je-je-je! ).This is a unique rom-com. ... funny, romantic, sentimental, dramatic with a hint of reality.One thing that amazes me ... I never thought Portuguese are this conservative and superstitious. I really am not familiar with the actors/actresses in this movie. But they played their parts very well. From the main characters, to the girl's family, the the guy's side kick and even the fortune teller - I'd really say their acting is awesome!Watch this people. You'll thank me when you do.

Growing up close to a lot of Portuguese families it felt so real, they are so funny and from the heart. Excellent must see movie. It was a really good movie, kept me laughing through the whole thing. Such good acting and humor very well done. Thank you for a great movie. When it was done I met the actress, and actor very nice people very well done. I would definitely go to another one of there movies.It was really nice to walk out of theater and see them there to talk us and see what we thought of the movie, great to have gotten a picture with them. It would be great to be able to keep track on how well they do in ratings. People really need to give it a chance you will not regret it. Super funny and very surreal.

My husband and I were on a holiday and wanted to see a movie. People that we had met on the beach recommended this one highly. We went to it and were very surprised at how funny it was! The script writing was intelligent (which these days is hard to find). The lead male and female were captivating as actors and had a great chemistry. The film was very believable and very very funny. We both had belly laughs throughout the show. The supporting cast was also amazing. The actor that plays the father was awesome. The actor that played Jack was extremely good looking which made the movie even better from my standpoint! We are hoping this movie comes to Canada as we would like to see it again! I know all our friends will love it!

My wife and I loved this movie! The Characters were very realistic and the family is very much like a Portuguese family that I know. The script was witty and the acting by Ryan Scott and Jeannette Sousa was excellent! The dog in the movie was very funny! Joaquim De Almeida was very believable as the father. I have seen him in many movies and this role was very different for him. We thought it was funnier than My Big Fat Greek Wedding! I have heard that this was a low budget film but I did not feel that it was low budget. The rain seen was very realistic and the break up seen was very sad. Vic Sahay was very funny as well! We found that we enjoyed it so much with all the characters that it would make a good sitcom.
