(147)Nonsense by Daniel Garcia Marquez
By a customer , 24 Mar 2013Beautifully filmed BUT rubbish story. Characters are laughable. Glad I did not waste my time reading this nonsense by Daniel Garcia Marquez.- Was this review helpful to you?

Absolute stinker
By a customer , 04 Nov 2012Put simply, this film is awful. From the opening scene, which features the actors working in totally unconvincing make-up that makes them look as though they are wearing rubber masks, to English dialogue delivered in a manner that suggests most of the cast do not speak the language and probably learned the lines off by heart without necessarily knowing what they were saying, this film showcases some of the worst acting I have seen in a big-budget film. On top of that, it crawls along at a snails pace and it utterly boring.
I find it hard to imagine who this film would appeal to.- Was this review helpful to you?

Needs more than an intriguing title - a lot more!
By Quandoquidem (12 reviews) , 30 Aug 2012Oh dear. It was a good book. But there are some good laughs - especially at the spectacularly bad dialogue and unintentionally hilarious sex scenes. Overall, though it's an insult to the intelligence and excruciatingly painful to watch. I have no idea what the remaining hour and a quarter was like having given up watching.- Was this review helpful to you?

Better than the book
By Papagei (6 reviews) , 06 Mar 2012Having read the book I found the film an excellent interpretation of it, I would even say better than the book! Although the story line is a bit unbelievable, it is fun to watch and the acting is great - Javier Bardem at his best. The subject of love is well represented in all its different forms.- Was this review helpful to you?

Essence of the Novel as I Remember it
By Seedyvee (187 reviews) from Grantham , 28 Jan 2012Elements of both the serious and comic are blended together in this film based on Martinez' novel of the same name. It is impeccably shot with some great performances but there seemed to be a disturbing out-of-stepness with the aging process of the two main characters; while Fermina retains her youth her life-long admirer soon turns into a shuffling middle-aged man who eventually resembles Groucho Marx with the arrival of his heavy moustache.
I had read the novel a few years ago but the film reminded me of the contemplative stillness and endearing quality of the story as I remembered it.- Was this review helpful to you?
