August 16, 2008I really liked the movie except for the ending. I am led to believe that he adopted the baby and she disappeared from his life for a few years until meeting at the beach? It just didn't add up.

July 29, 2008After having dinner with Jose's family Nina asks, "Is it always like that? Did you grow up with that?" "With what?" asks Jose.

They are the people we run into everyday but don?t know it. What makes some of these characters ext...( read more)

November 17, 2007It's interesting how many people is writing the comments in the "review" section. For me, giving a review could be inacurate or not exhaust the beauty of Bella. I highly recomend to watch the movie and get the best view of it.
