Opposites attract in this conventional but refreshingly unpredictable romantic comedy. New York nightclub designer (Matthew Perry, from television's Friends) is in Las Vegas to supervise the construction of a new project when he meets a fiery Mexican beauty (Salma Hayek). It's lust at first sight, and their one-night stand takes an unexpected turn when she shows up three months later to announce that she's pregnant. They're determined to do right for each other, so they get married in a Vegas chapel with an Elvis impersonator as their witness. Then comes the hard part--trying to figure out if they're actually compatible. The plot complications are mostly familiar, but Perry and Hayek throw some bright sparks as their initial bliss turns to more realistic concerns for family and future. Along the way there's some sharp dialogue and a few good laughs to give this all-too-human comedy an enjoyable spin. --Jeff Shannon

 Culture Clash January 22, 2010
Maria G. Zapata
I showed this movie to my high school Spanish classes. It was a huge hit!!
The cultural differences between boy and girl are shown in a humorous fashion. I recommend this film to all.
Great Deal November 25, 2009

I am very pleased on how it arrived to my home, the DVD is in wonderful shape.
 silver dollars in the Hoover Dam? September 28, 2009
R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
Beautiful smart Mexican girls seem to be a discovery to
this New Yorker. The south west has been dealing with them
since the 19th century.
The culture clash here leads to some funny situations
where the men in suits meet the Mexican male
face to face? People with complete Mexican heritage
are still found everywhere in the south west
with close relatives in Mexico, but who also
speak native south west English and have college
educations. "Doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs" is the old phrase
that hold true here?
Anyway the New York fellow finds out she is more woman
than he has ever found in an east coast educated girl.
And she's having his baby...
I enjoyed the movie and it gave me some laughs
when the two cultures both find they are
dealing with their prejudices in an embarrassing way.
Matt Perry's Best August 2, 2009
Robyn M. Witt (Huntington Beach, CA)
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Matthew Perry is fresh off of his first three seasons of Friends, at the peak of his career. His character Alex is funny, witty, charming, endearing and adorable. He plays very well off of Hayek's fiery and stubborn Isabel, and the two have excellent chemistry. I have watched this movie well over a hundred times since it came out (when I was only seven years old), and I enjoy it every time. The contrast of the cultures: Mexican American and typical Greenwich WASP, is amusing and heartening. The setting, the music, and the eternal optimism of a man in love makes this movie unforgettable. It's a unique story of chance and love. I fully recommend.
PLEASANT ENOUGH, BUT NOT VERY FUNNY OR ROMANTIC! July 31, 2009

I'm sure most folks who really like this film are just big fans of the two leads. I enjoyed this film to a degree, but I can't remember laughing once or getting that "aw shucks" feeling either(this isn't such a bad thing!). The best moments in this film come when Perry meets Hayeks family, but overall this romantic comedy isn't all that romantic or comedic! It's been done a millions times before and if you like these types of films, there is no reason for you to miss this one either.
