this movie had an interesting story, was very visually entertaining, and was well-acted. it moves a little slow, but it is worth renting.

I wasn't expecting anything when I rented this film. I selected from the my list of Blockbuster's Recommendations. This movie is so multi-faceted, you'll get tingue-tied trying to explain its depth to your friends. Just tell them to rent it themselves. Dark and moving, humourous and witty, Penelope Cruz really emotionally carries this movie. It's a must-see.

a wonderful movie in just about every way. you never know what to expect, but in the end you actually get somewhere. as the opening shot suggests, it's for everybody who's ever cared for their mother, literally and figuratively. Almodovar outdoes himself.

It was okay. My husband put it in the line up. I watched it while he was gone. I returned before he got home. He wouldn't have liked it. I didn't like it much either.

But I have to say after reading all the glowing reviews I expected a great movie. I couldn't get in to it and was sadly disappointed because I love good movies I have to think about and read.

I was drawn to this movie by good reviews from friends and critics. I sat down one Saturday afternoon to watch it with great anticipation. It was annoying to read the subtitles and catch the emotion on the actors' faces at the same time, (sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't - here it doesn't). This movie was a bit boring to say the least. It dealt with strong issues, but I didn't walk away from it sympathizing with any of the characters. Cruz's character is actually unlikeable throughout. I have never seen a film by Almodovar and now I won't see another. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't live up to the hype.
