This has been unexpectedly better with a story far deeper than I thought it would have. Well done, more than just a fun horror movie.

Having a father is great. Having a father that's there is even better. I can't really say more about this movie than that... and it's probably less about the movie, I realize, writing this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This may not be the kind of movie you watch in cinema with your friends, but it definitely is a great movie: both character development and story are well done, and the tale told couldn't be more relevant in today's times. Considering how today's youth grows up with pornography, this film tells us (in a at least seemingly very authentic way) about very relevant aspects of the development how relationships may turn out these days, both in terms of how gender roles are recognized as well as attachment styles (in relationships.)

The original version of Vanilla Sky, so to speak. (Vanilla Sky is a remake of this movie.)
The story is slightly different though... but the voice at the beginning ("abre los ojos") is the same... :-)

Interesting movie with acceptable story development, it would've been nice though if the writer spent more than 5 minutes to write the ending. And then there's Parker Posey... which is the only reason this movie reaches the 5/10 rating for me.

OK, I get it... everyone wants to do Milla J, but beyond that (and except for Sienna and Michelle) - how can anyone merit this movie with even a mediocre rating? It has a nice twist, but two hours of high-tech brutality aren't really what I thought to constitute a movie. A video-game - maybe... but not a movie.

What a waste of time: bad editing, mediocre music and the dialogue wasn't too good either.
Nice fights and "eye candy" though... but not enough to make up for this being a waste of time. :(

This was actually trashier than expected, but all in all a heart-warming nice comedy. If slapstick is too much for you, I recommend you steer clear of this, otherwise: enjoy. ^^

An impressive and well written piece of work: dissecting the topics of career, ambition and love in the most interesting ways is what this movie succeeds in. It may not be an exemplary piece on ethics and on how our society should work, but it shed light on the more intricate details of human relationships, in terms of professional and more intimate relationships as well as on what friendship can be.

This movie surely gave me food for thought to read the book and others by the Brontë sisters. An excellent drama on its own, though I fear judging it solely by its cinematic appearance might not do it justice. The movie on its own is very good, however.
