I did not like this movie at all. The acting in general was terrible. Javier Bardem’s character was really annoying to me. He just seemed like he was a stalker and although his love wrote him back in the beginning, she never gave him anything past that. It didn’t feel like it was a great love compared to Like Water for Chocolate. He was just pathetic in his walk, in his appearance. I heard the book was way better, i would probably give it a chance.
