Whoever designed the color scheme of this film really nailed the romanticized aura of Barcelona. Too bad that's not all that a film's supposed to be because other than this aspect of the film, there's not much to it. All the key scenes are so forced, artificial, and cheesy as if a kid drew up the entire movie than a competent cinematographers rendered his cheesy-ass fantasies into fruition. If I were you, I'd stay clear away from films like this. Pure 130 minutes of disappointment.
... View MoreThe movie has a little bit of everything such as love, secret affair, betrayal, friendship, family tragedy, and coming-of-age, but it lacks a central focus and thereby, at the end of the movie the viewer feels like "I would have guessed this easily" and "nothing much has happened since the start". A good and riveting movie should attract the viewer into the film on its own despite being a sequel. Yes, there is a story, but it is so predictable and slow-moving. Besides, the characters are not elaborated throughout the movie. Hugo, the protagonist seems to be in agony, but only because of losing his best friend or having been dumped by Babi, who seems to be too shallow as a character. They should have gone deeper on Hugo's character and built a solid character. Side-line stories like the family tragedy of Babi's parents serve no purpose and they seem to have stolen from the main story. Because of not dwelling on the main story between Hugo and the girl he just met, it is difficult, as a viewer, to feel the love among this couple. Despite these lacking points, it can be a good shot for romance- lovers.

Meanwhile , ¨H¨ gets mixed up with some tough as well as bad guys and is embodied in endless fights and illegal motorbike races , the limit of common sense . Later on , ¨Hache¨ meets again Babi (Maria Valverde) , the girl from upper-middle class that was educated in goodness and innocence .Sensitive as well as romantic drama is loaded with an enjoyable triangular love story , twisted situations and with a distinctly Spanish idiosyncrasy . It is the chronicle of a love improbable , almost impossible between two maladjusted young people : Mario Casas and Clara Lago but inevitable dragging in a frantic journey in which he discovers again his first great love : Maria Valverde . Although is full of predictability and cliché-ness the film results out to be pretty entertaining . It turns out to be pleasantly fun that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever ; an exercise in pure escapism in which entertainment and thrilling happenings are guaranteed . Passable acting by Mario Casas as Hache , a rebellious boy who has an appetite for risk and danger , a ¨rebel without a cause¨ , in James Dean'style . This is Mario Casas's most important screen appearance in screen and pretty well Clara Lago as the beautiful dancer Gin . And agreeable and charming Maria Valverde as the innocent Babi . As shown in the film, H and Babi develop a relationship , well, the two actors developed a relationship of their own in 2010 , though it is known that the two broke up in September of 2014 . Ample support cast formed by newcomers who would have an acceptable and uneven career , such as : Ferran Vilajosana , Diego Martín , Nerea Camacho , Alvaro Cervantes of ¨Carlos I¨ series and Carlos Francino of ¨Victor Ros¨ series . Colorful and glimmer cinematography by Xavi Gimenez . Atmospheric and moving musical score by Manel Santisteban . And the advertisement including Christina Aguilera who looks amazing on the set for her music video for 'Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti' with Alejandro Fernández . Being based on Federico Moccia bestseller book .

... View MoreTengo Ganas De ti (I Want You) (2012) This is the Sequel of Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo (Three Steps above Heaven), here you will find a different story because now they grow up and are living separate life , she has BF and hi a new girl, so this is about what happen after your first love. This is better than the first one because is more mature and the performances are more believable, but I have to say I didn't like the new girl too much. When I finished the film I start thinking that this movie is not exactly a love story about a couple, this is the love life of the male main character because here you have the new story of him with the new girl and he been hunting by the memories of his first love. This is definitely better than 3MSC and also very contemporary story. Both movies have a real message at the end. 1- When something is broken it would never be the same. & 2- You need two committed people to make a relationship work. GO: www.facebook.com/ElementaryTips
