Two young American women, Vicky and Cristina, come to Barcelona for a summer holiday. Vicky is sensible and engaged to be married; Cristina is emotionally and sexually adventurous. In Barcelona, they're drawn into a series of unconventional romantic entanglements with Juan Antonio, a charismatic painter, who is still involved with his tempestuous ex-wife Maria Elena.

This is long overdue.. Suppose to catch it like two weeks ago but i only managed to do so on Thursday.
Prior to watching, i've heard mixed comments about this movie.
Either you love it or you simply think it's boring.
I belong to the 'i love it' group :)
I like how a narrator was used to tell the story.
Without it, it'll probably make the movie a little less interesting.
Every single character in this movie found a right owner.
And of all, Penélope Cruz is fantastic as the unstable ex-wife of the male lead.
The characters have vastly different ideas of how they view love and i think at the end of the movie, you'll probably realize that one of the character is your reflection in reality.
For those who wanna catch it, GV's still showing at selected cinemas but very limited screenings.
