Dean Cain is a likable actor. His best role was, of course, as Superman in "Lois & Clark" on television quite a while back. He has not really risen much above television movies since then. And, like him, they're mostly pleasant affairs. This particular film was not a television movie, but it seems like one -- pretty shallow...but mildly pleasant. Here, the likable Cain plays a likable owner of a bed and breakfast in California wine country. But up pops a Brazilian woman who also seems to be the owner of the same property. See where this is going??? It's blatantly obvious with few surprises along the way. We meet a few wacko guests to the B&B, but this will barely hold your attention. Again, a somewhat pleasant diversion.Cain's acting here is likable, but that's about all I can say in his defense. Brazilian actress Juliana Paes plays the other owner, and she is pleasant, as well.If you like Hallmark television movies, you'll probably like this film. Otherwise, pass it by.

Given the stuff being served to US college students over the last 20 years I'm amazed at the comments from some US reviewers about immaturity. (SPOILER ALERTS) Juliana Paes is an exotic Brazilian beauty and Dean Cain is, well, superman, so the mutual attraction would be understanding. However, it's not that simple, starting from the premise that they're both basically simple salt-of-the-earth types just trying to live decent lives. Juliana has worked herself up to the rank of department store supervisor, but then gets dumped on, by her beach bum boyfriend, her worthless brother, who borrows all the savings she can afford but ends up getting put in jail to escape his debt collectors and needs 8x that to clear his name, and finally her father, who dies leaving her half a million reais in debt (about 1000x the Brazilian minimum monthly wage at the time). The only salvation seems to be a property in a small California town that she's inherited from her grandmother.Dean is a handyman who has been dumped by his suddenly famous actress wife (who fell for her leading man) but was given a property that he is turning into a B&B - hence the title. The catch is that he was left the same property Juliana inherited, so something's gotta give. As it turns out, that's their resistance to one another, but of course there are plenty of complications, as well as side issues, along the way. I won't spoil it by saying how it all plays out, but it is all harmless fun of the kind you'd have expected from comedy back in the 60s (an era that produced some great films, so no need to sneer, post-millenniums). Kudos also for a brief comedy turn from Eric Roberts, who plays a swishy hotel reviewer, and Julia Duffy, whose mothering instincts are brought out by the B&B's owner.

Come on. I kind known to strike the film Brazil, because, despite having HD quality and everything else is amateur, has the most expensive advertising and novel than the movie. Movie film is that the U.S. (and the rest of the world) uses. And to prove that this movie was perfect: the transition of the footage from the U.S. to Brazil there is a clear difference, professional vs. amateur image. Marcio Garcia hit the partnership made ​​a simple and predictable movie, but well done (except for the Japanese scenes that are not thrown that way in public, and the final scene of Márcio that apparently needed to make merchan shampoo). While they are talking about, I enjoyed this romantic comedy. At least had a plot with a beginning, middle and end, and unlike many Brazilian films. I'm a fan of American movies, not like the movies Brazil. But I firmly believe that if you pay attention to this detail of the film would already be half way for me to start to change their minds. Pity that few people realize - and cares.

Pseudoactor and TV presenter, Marcio Garcia directs his first feature film. The film lacks script, directing and acting. The last scene - a displaced product placement - in which Mr Garcia acts is something to be remembered - because it is the most embarrassing moment in the recent film history. Juliana Paes is very famous in Brazil because she played an Indian in a soap opera, and Dean Cain (Dean who?) is virtually unknown after his superman TV show was canceled so many years ago. The movie was one of the biggest BO disappointments last year in Brazil - thanks heaven people still have sense. Because of that it is a shock that Mr GArcia found anyone to put money in a new film.
