Lack of good storyline.

Great Film overall

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

While I agree with the criticism of fayozavala and nadialamas's reviews, I think it is worthy of a higher rating for all of the many positive attributes. There were poignant scenes and story-line that was true to our human nature. When Cristobal confesses a transgression to his good friend Carlos, to prove a point that will help Carlos make a life altering decision that will impact his wife, and his daughter and his marriage, and demands that Carlos give him a good blow in retribution, and that they then hug and carry on as friends, that depicted friendship between men at their finest. Carlos's story is complex, and he is vulnerable and true, but retains his self-respect and remains open to possibilities. Both he and Irene are mindful of each others feelings. The film has moral footing and in the end one understands the moral dilemma Carlos finds himself facing. The filming, lighting, and locations for all of the scenes are beautiful. Despite the aspects of the film that are clunky, it is, in the end, a feel good rom-com that rom-com lovers will appreciate.

Our lovers, at its core should be a light romantic comedy, that would aim to remind us of the wonders and excitement of newfound love. The problem comes with the way the characters interact, In a nutshell... nobody, and I mean Nobody talks like that. Every line is trying to be witty and cultured. Every 2 sentences the characters reference authors, painters and are more worried about showing their general culture and their art nuance that to actually communicate.The acting is forced, but is not due to the actors, which in other media can and have delivered, but more due to the poor script and more than likely the fact than the director is also the writer. As a summary, a great concept that was poorly executed and in hindsight, if you were to drink a shot every time a character casualty mentions a famous author, an awesome drinking game.

The best way I can describe this film is that it entranced me, as the images kept coming back to haunt me for a long time after I left the cinema. It's not perfect (which film is?) but the imagery and underlying message of the romance in nature, as well as in human relationships, will - despite some occasional qualms about the dialogue - enchant you too.

I admit that this movie has something typically European (or Spanish better said) and that might make it somehow more difficult for other audiences. In short I found the movie to be funny, with sometimes unexpected twists (sometimes expected, I will admit that) and starring beautiful young actors. The movie is filled in with beautiful images. I see that many critiques refer to the dialogues but in all honesty this is exactly what I found to be the strong point of the movie. The cast is very well chosen and doing a very good job as well, the actors fit their roles in a natural way and seem to enjoy themselves every single scene. I recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to those American comedies with overrated actors, full of clichés and gross dialogues. The movie left us pleasantly surprised and some of the scenes still make us laugh a couple of days later.
