(Keanu Reeves) finds he has little in common with the wife he left behind. Disillusioned, he heads north to work as a travelling salesman where he meets the daughter (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) of a wealthy vineyard owner (Giancarlo Giannini). On her way home, she is unmarried and pregnant. The young man gallantly offers to help by posing as her husband for one night, unaware that doing so will change both of their lives forever. Amazon.com: 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 traveling 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of my favoritesI like romantic comedies when they are well-done, and this is one of the best. It has an engaging storyline, beautiful locales and interesting characters. There is nothing in the storyline that is outlandish or unbelievable and there are no silly moments that you wish had been edited out. This is one of my favorite films and I can watch it over and over. Rating:  - A Walk in the CloudsThis is an entertaining, "warm, fuzzy" romantic story set in the late 1940's. It's simplistic and the characters are predictably developed. There is not much depth, but I doubt that that was the intent of the screenwriters or the director. I could see a far more challenging movie in this story line and a wonderful cast of more authentic and gritty actors. It is a good G rated movie. Rating: - LOVE THIS MOVIE!I loved this movie. Love Keanu Reeves. This is an amazing love story, one that will stick with you for a long time. One that you'll pull out every so often to watch again, and again. Rating: - A Walk in the CloudsThis is a beautiful and poignant film. It is a film about the unexpected love formed by two people of deferent origins, which interen causes havoc among the girl's family. A family stepped in tradition and pride, but through there love and there families love for there land and the tragedies that befall them due to the father's disdain over his daughter's love for this outsider, a union is formed and the outsider is finely excepted as and loved as there own. Rating: - One of my favorite movies.I've watched this movies at least fifty times. I've personally purchased it over twenty times, giving them to friends. If you're looking for a wonderful story, that leaves you feeling great, this is your movie. I'd recommend this movies for everyone. Keanu Reeves is great! Browse for similar items by category:
