I could copy and paste any 1-star review from this movie and it would describe exactly how I feel. Predictable (I knew what was happening the first 15min, only stayed waiting to see an actual twist), depressing and repetitive. Don't waste your time.

Secret Obsession
(2019)
Was this real?
12 September 2019
This is the kind of plot I would have made when I was 8 years old. Childish, basic, predictable and with no logic at all. I knew who the bad guy was as soon as he appeared on scene. And kinda knew what was going on when she lost her memory. Do not waste your time watching this.
I'm giving it a three because the house was very cute to look at.
Baby
(2018–2020)
I liked it but...
5 January 2019
I liked Baby. It was interesting and exciting; actually, I watched it all in only 2 days. However, it's not one of my new favorite series because I found a lot of things I would have changed. I completely understand this series is made of a real story, which makes it more interesting to some people. But I would had definitely preferred an average teenage drama, not so over-the-top and rare (elite teenagers involved in prostitution / teacher-student relationships / selling drugs). The cast, the idea and the setting were so good that I'm just annoyed the plot didn't portray more of a common lifestyle and drama. That way it would had been more enjoyable for me.
Gran Hotel
(2011–2013)
Best Spanish series.
5 January 2019
I watched Gran Hotel twice in only two months. I fell so much in love with all the characters and how the story developed, that I couldn't resist watching it again. It's pretty much a story for all kind of public. Lots of mystery, drama, love, suspense and a little bit of comedy, too. The setting is fascinating (set at the beginning of the 20th century), the script is very genuine and the cast is the big plus. You won't get bored at the slightlest! Definitely a must-watch.
Elite
(2018–2024)
Unrealistic
5 January 2019
I think this one is a combination between 'Baby' and 'Mar de Plastico'. The idea was very good (a series of elite kids - Gossip Girl type), but the plot is excessively unreal. I did not feel chemistry between any of the characters and the relationships looked very forced. They added so much drama in a small group of 6-7 teenagers that it's simply ridiculous and exaggerated: HIV, threesomes, LGBTQ, drug addiction, religion, murder, corruption, sex, open relationships, teenage pregnancy. They forgot to give it a touch of reality. I wanted to watch a series about real 'elite' drama, not this surreal and excessive plot. Gave it 3 stars out of 10 because I liked the idea of it and the locations were very good, but they ruined it by not being genuine.
Absolutely loved it!
4 January 2019
I absolutely loved this movie, it's very relatable. The cast is splendid, the plot is realistic, no clichés, and made me feel butterflies throughout the whole movie as if I was a teenager. The main couple had so much natural chemistry that they made me wish they were together since the start of the movie. I'm definitely watching it again soon! 11/10
Sweet Home Alabama
(2002)
Big disappointment.
29 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I do not know where to start, I was liking this movie, but I didn't think it was going to be so cliché and cheesy at the end, I was very disappointed. The movie has quite funny parts that made me laugh out loud, it starts very well and the plot unfolds in a more or less coherent and entertaining way.
Melanie (the protagonist) gets engaged to her McDreamy 'yankee' boyfriend (Andrew) who is madly in love with her, despite the fact that his mom does not agree with their relationship. Once they are engaged, she travels to her native Alabama to ask her husband (surprise!) to finally sign the divorce papers (she's been asking him for 7 years). Jake -her husband- doesn't want a divorce and they spend at least 20 minutes of the film fighting and hating each other for that, which would make you assume what caused their marriage to fail... After that, Melanie reunites with some of her old friends and one night while she is drunk, she insults them by telling them, in other words, they're some big losers with stagnant lives.
The morning after, Melanie regrets what she said and has a wake-up call; she begins to consider her family and childhood friends more and thanks to that new appreciation, she falls in love with her husband again (this fact is shown in a very vague way, in just a 5 minute scene - actually, the movie focuses more on the relationship of Melanie and Andrew).
At the same time, Melanie's fiancé travels to Alabama to surprise her but there he finds out his fiancée lied to him about her family name, her story, never told him that she was still married or that she had been pregnant... I mean, some details to reconsider something as big as a marriage, but, no, it does not take him a day to decide he was going to marry her despite 'her past'. They were going to celebrate the wedding in Alabama.
In the last scenes, we see a more sentimental Jake, who still loves Melanie and is hurt that she's going to get married (dude, it's been 7 years without you guys talking to each other). In the end, at the wedding and in front of all the guests (something very realistic), Melanie's lawyer breaks in to tell her that she forgot to sign her part on the divorce paper... Once she is holding the pen to sign it, she changes her mind and tells Andrew that she doesn't love him and can't marry him.
Andrew smiles and says that he understands, then leaves the place, but not before kissing Melanie in the hand (wtf?). Apparently, the only person outraged by the humiliation Andrew had just suffered and by how terrible Melanie acted was Andrew's mom, but, when she was expressing her outrage, she gets punched in the face by Melanie, yup.
After that, Melanie runs to find her first, true love, they kiss under the rain and live happily ever after.
Man, this film has so many mistakes, I was disappointed because I thought the message was going to be different, that despite having had a first love, you can love again and leave those beautiful memories of the past behind. I thought Melanie would continue her life with her fiancé who loved her and was going to reconcile with her old friends, maintaining a good relation with them, accepting their lifestyles and traveling back to Alabama once in a while. I assumed the movie was going to be more realistic; it started very well, it had good comedy parts, but the way it ended was illogical, cliché, fanciful and even outrageous (did Andrew deserve that? - so Andrew's mom was always right?)
Ok, yes, I seem to be the only one who cared about Andrew's feelings, that's why I did not fall for the cliché ending of the movie.
Wtf was that "So, this is what this feels like" from Andrew while he was being humiliated at his wedding? That's a 5/10. P.S.: Sweet Home Alabama (by Lynyrd Skynyrd) rocks, though!

The Notebook
(2004)
Too cliché for words
17 June 2016
I'm a romance and cheesy movies lover. I watched this when I was 15 years old and when 'cheesy' was one of my favorite genres... Everyone I knew talked about this movie saying how "perfect" it was, the best movie of all time, etc, so I gave it a chance.
I got bored the first 10 minutes. I was so annoyed by the cliché dialogues and scenes, the unrealistic love, the story itself seemed pretty dull and lame to me. How could anyone like such a predictable and infinitely cheesy story? I must be part of the 1% who dislike this film. One of the most awful films I've ever seen, to be honest.

Idiocracy
(2006)
Very good movie.
5 April 2015
I laughed a lot while watching this movie, although it can be terrifying because we're starting to see this kind of behavior in "modern" society, a lot of people can refute this, but I could visualize an amplified present and that can be scary.
A civilization ruled by McDonalds' culture, TV-only watchers, non-readers, lazy and addict people. Even if it is Sci-Fi, there can be seen a resemblance to reality. My question is: what are we doing different?
Further than that, the movie is entertaining, you can spend a great time with your family while you watch it, no sexual scenes (only some strong language) and a lot of sarcasm/fun!
