    Isabel Fuentes: No. No quiero oir nada. No quiero que me digas una palabra. Estoy harta de todas tus mentiras. Eso son todo lo que me has dicho. Cobarde.
    Alex Whitman: What does that mean?
    Isabel Fuentes: It means that you are a liar and a coward. That's what it means.
    Alex Whitm...( read more)an: It sounded so much prettier in Spanish.

    It's funny thinking about this movie after seeing Knocked Up. Its basically the same premise: after a one night stand, the woman ends up pregnant and the two form a relationship. Granted this movie is a lot more tame, with a chick flick sentiment behind it.

    I remember seeing this a long time ago and was pleased enough, and now its one of those movies where if its on TV I'll leave it on in the background while I do something else.

    Its nothing special, but it has Salma Hayek looking good and Matthew Perry, who I think can be pretty funny at times. Enjoyable.

    Quite an amusing little story but nothing particularly spectacular.

    Whoever claimed this to be Matthew Perry's best ever role should watch more of his films. I think he has a lot more to offer really.

    Best one night stand turned relationship movie ever. The majority of Hayeks roles have her as suductive and sexy. Alluring. But, this movie cast her as cute and somewhat innocent. A side to her I grew quite fond of and much rather enjoy. One of Perry's lovable roles ever, might I...( read more) add.
