I loved it, and I'm planning on going to see it again! It was far better than I expected and so real. I didn't know Nicole Kidman was playing Lucy til they showed the credits at the end. She did an excellent job! She was so much like Lucy that I was amazed! They all did an excellent job!! I can't imagine anyone else playing Desi as well as Desi, played by Javier Bardem! He was perfect for the role! I had expected this movie to be just one laugh after another (and I really wasn't in the mood for that), but it was actually a more serious show. I've been wanting to see a serious show, especially a love story, and this one fit the bill! Anyone who didn't like it... sorry for you! I give the director and all the actors the highest score possible!
