Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Keanu Reeves is completely wooden in this romantic misfire by Alfonso Arau (Like Water for Chocolate). Reeves plays a World War II vet who hits the road as a traveling salesman and agrees to help a desperate, pregnant woman (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon)--who is afraid to let her father (Giancarlo Giannini) see her condition--by pretending to be her husband. Most of the story takes place in the old man's vineyard, and Arau makes a life of swollen fruit, grape-stomping, sunlight, and tan flesh that looks amazingly erotic. But there are plenty of sillier distractions, such as the sight of farm hands chasing insects with flapping gossamer wings attached to their arms. Reeves is terribly self-conscious, while stalwart Anthony Quinn is memorable as the damsel's benevolent grandfather. --Tom Keogh
Description
After returning from World War II, a young G.I. (Keanu Reeves) finds he has little in common with the wife he left behind. Disillusioned, he heads north to work as a travelling salesman where he meets the daughter (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) of a wealthy vineyard owner (Giancarlo Giannini). On her way home, she is unmarried and pregnant. The young man gallantly offers to help by posing as her husband for one night, unaware that doing so will change both of their lives forever.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful! They don't make them like this anymore........2007-06-10

Do not pay attention to all those negative comments. This movie is simply a delight to watch. The story, the photography and the music are simply beautiful. I've watched it several times and continue to enjoy it. The spreading of the heat on the grapes with the butterfly-like wings and the grape stumping are my favorite scenes.

5 out of 5 stars Great Movie.......2007-06-02

Hubby saw this 1st and then insisted I watch too! Glad I did!! It is an excellent movie, despite views posted by others. It has depth, great photography and just a general all around GREAT movie. I loved it!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic.......2007-05-18

The first time I watched this movie was at the theater. I thought the scenery had been painted. After all, no where on earth looks like that, right? Then I went to Napa for myself and, surprise!

I watch this movie a few times every year. The scenery is beautiful but so is the story. What orphan wouldn't want to be part of this wine-producing family? The grandfather is the star of the movie in my opinion. The female lead is luminous. Keannu's understated performance is well-suited to the character of a veteran shell-shocked from war and finding out that his war bride didn't care enough to read all the letters he sent her during the war.

If you want to know the definition of chivalry, watch and learn.

One of my two favorite movies of all time. I suddenly feel like going home, turning out the lights, snuggling up to my wife on the couch, and watching this work of art another time! I suggest you do the same.

5 out of 5 stars So Romantic!.......2007-05-17

This movie is so romantic. Keanu Reeves is gorgeous. The Mexican family in this movie is such a treat to watch. I love the family dynamics and the fact that poor Keanu has no family and he wants to belong. The scenery of the vynard is spectacular.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Love Story...........2007-04-28

Keanu Reeves is a World War II veteran and a traveling salesman on a bus when he meets a pregnant woman (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) on her way to Napa Valley to help her family with the grape harvest. She needs someone to pretend to be her husband at her family's vineyard, the ex-soldier agrees. However, her father can sense something is not right about the story and tries to prove that his daughter is hiding the real truth.

This movie is a mystical romance based on a 1942 Italian film of the same name.

I really enjoyed this movie...although it did bring tears to my eyes.

    Keanu Reeves is completely wooden in this romantic misfire by Alfonso Arau (Like Water for Chocolate). Reeves plays a World War II vet who hits the road as a traveling salesman and agrees to help a desperate, pregnant woman (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon)--who is afraid to let her father (Giancarlo Giannini) see her condition--by pretending to be her husband. Most of the story takes place in the old man's vineyard, and Arau makes a life of swollen fruit, grape-stomping, sunlight, and tan flesh that looks amazingly erotic. But there are plenty of sillier distractions, such as the sight of farm hands chasing insects with flapping gossamer wings attached to their arms. Reeves is terribly self-conscious, while stalwart Anthony Quinn is memorable as the damsel's benevolent grandfather. --Tom Keogh

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful! They don't make them like this anymore........2007-06-10

    Do not pay attention to all those negative comments. This movie is simply a delight to watch. The story, the photography and the music are simply beautiful. I've watched it several times and continue to enjoy it. The spreading of the heat on the grapes with the butterfly-like wings and the grape stumping are my favorite scenes.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Movie.......2007-06-02

    Hubby saw this 1st and then insisted I watch too! Glad I did!! It is an excellent movie, despite views posted by others. It has depth, great photography and just a general all around GREAT movie. I loved it!

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic.......2007-05-18

    The first time I watched this movie was at the theater. I thought the scenery had been painted. After all, no where on earth looks like that, right? Then I went to Napa for myself and, surprise!

    I watch this movie a few times every year. The scenery is beautiful but so is the story. What orphan wouldn't want to be part of this wine-producing family? The grandfather is the star of the movie in my opinion. The female lead is luminous. Keannu's understated performance is well-suited to the character of a veteran shell-shocked from war and finding out that his war bride didn't care enough to read all the letters he sent her during the war.

    If you want to know the definition of chivalry, watch and learn.

    One of my two favorite movies of all time. I suddenly feel like going home, turning out the lights, snuggling up to my wife on the couch, and watching this work of art another time! I suggest you do the same.

    5 out of 5 stars So Romantic!.......2007-05-17

    This movie is so romantic. Keanu Reeves is gorgeous. The Mexican family in this movie is such a treat to watch. I love the family dynamics and the fact that poor Keanu has no family and he wants to belong. The scenery of the vynard is spectacular.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Love Story...........2007-04-28

    Keanu Reeves is a World War II veteran and a traveling salesman on a bus when he meets a pregnant woman (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) on her way to Napa Valley to help her family with the grape harvest. She needs someone to pretend to be her husband at her family's vineyard, the ex-soldier agrees. However, her father can sense something is not right about the story and tries to prove that his daughter is hiding the real truth.

    This movie is a mystical romance based on a 1942 Italian film of the same name.

    I really enjoyed this movie...although it did bring tears to my eyes.
