This film can be compared to drinking water when you don´t have anything else to do. Tastes nothing, and soon you forget...
I even doubt there is a film at all...
One of those occasions when you might ask: "where is it?".
The best by far: Penelope Cruz. When she is on screen one feels on eis watching an entertaining movie, otherwise yawns, and "what time is it?"...
By th way, i live in the real Barcelona. However, It is nice to see some photoshopped postcards of the place you live in.
Let´s say Vicky...is a fairytale (a boring one that is) that takes place in a faraway imaginary land...

Very disappointing. I had to keep asking for the sick bag but maybe that was just jealousy from watching a slimy Spanish painter bed so many gorgeous women. Cruz was electric but otherwise this film seemed to be mostly about Woody Allen indulging himself in his own private sexual fantasies.

A very watchable film - Scarlett is delectable, Javier smoulders nicely, Penelope is wonderfully volcanic, Barcelona is glorious, everything moves along at a nice pace... So I enjoyed it, but came away feeling slightly cheated, as if I'd seen a short film dressed up as a full-length feature. And I still don't know whether it was a poignant social drama, a comedy or a fairy-tale - for me, it didn't quite succeed in being all three at once.
