Keanu Reeves is completely wooden in this romantic misfire by Alfonso Arau (Like Water for Chocolate). Reeves plays a World War II vet who hits the road as a travelling salesman and agrees to help a desperate, pregnant woman (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon)--who is afraid to let her father (Giancarlo Giannini) see her condition--by pretending to be her husband. Most of the story takes place in the old man's vineyard, and Arau makes a life of swollen fruit, grape-stomping, sunlight and tan flesh that looks amazingly erotic. But there are plenty of sillier distractions, such as the sight of farm hands chasing insects with flapping gossamer wings attached to their arms. Reeves is terribly self-conscious, while stalwart Anthony Quinn is memorable as the damsel's benevolent grandfather. --Tom Keogh
Product Description
After returning home from the war, Sutton (Keanu Reeves) accepts that his wife has no interest in him or his plans for the future, and sets out in search of a new life on his own. He soon meets up with a vineyard owner's daughter (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón), but she finds out she is pregnant and fears for her life when it comes to telling her father. Sutton then agrees to help her by pretending to be her new husband, a decision which will change both of their lives forever.

This movie is just the thing for a good absorbing evening! The cast is superb and it's good to see the beautiful Aitana Sanchez Gijon as Victoria Aragon in one of her few English speaking roles. Anthony Quinn really steals the show as the best 'character'! A good story, great photography and music all serve to show what a great romantic movie the Zucker brothers can achieve in such contrast to their other gems of the comedy genre!

I love this movie, it is really great and atmospheric. Keano Reeves plays an excellent role of a soldier who meets a nice woman and this meeting changes his life into a better one. What makes the movie even nicer is the presence of the legend Antony Quinne. The movie is very nice, and touches your heart with the amazing scenes of natural beauty, and the beauty of family life and simplicity of love. Every one should see this movie, it is a masterpiece and recommended for everyone.

Heart warming
Clearly this will not appeal to all but as a piece of entertainment without any hard to follow story line, it excells.
