I tried really hard to dislike this artsy romance - incredibly sexy people agonising about love and life's purpose. Bardem's character in particular suavely talks his way into all the womens' beds but I couldn't help but like him ........bastard. Its so detached from any sense of...( read more)

Not one of Woody Allen's best but certainly not his worst! Actually, I quite liked it. He picket a great cast (well half a great cast) and kept it simple and beautiful. The main annoyance I have with this film is the voice over/narration. Its lazy and unnecessary but the pretenti...( read more)

The one thing I wasn't thrilled about was the narrator. He was kinda cheesy and distracting at times. Cruz was amazing in this, and I typically don't care for her.

A Hillarious woody-allen sex-romp. But really it's Penelope Cruz's show in a career best perfromance as the crazy ex-wife Maria Elena.

Finally a Woody Allen film I enjoyed! Vicky Cristina Barcelona is an enjoyable comedy with great cinematography and even the narrator is quite humorous. Bardem shines, Johansson and Hall play their respective roles nicely, and Cruz just steels the show. Worth a view just to se...( read more)

Cruz, Bardem, and Johansson. They are the trio who delivered one of the best films I have ever seen. If you want to see Cruz at her most insane moments, catch this film. Even if you hate any of the actors, the view alone will make up for what you think is utter rubbish. :p

Not as good as I expected. Scarlett is still good eye-candy though, but she can't act if her life depended on it.

I like this new passion for Europa that Woody has development, I love Barcelona, very god Photography, the characters are, of course, artist, Barden is perfect and even Penelope was good, I though the contrary, anyway... good history, good movie.

I wish Penelope Cruz was my wife... We'd have many babies.
My first Woody Allen film!
Critic Reviews
When great artists maintain their health and energy into their 70s, amazing things can happen -- and they're happening with Woody Allen. full review
As usual, Allen works simply and quickly getting the most out of his rich and wry screenplay, a witty dissertation of the left turns our love lives can so easily take. full review
As exhilarating, captivating and enjoyable as a summer romance in an exotic city. full review
He is a little like Eric Rohmer here. The actors are attractive, the city is magnificent, the love scenes don't get all sweaty, and everybody finishes the summer a little wiser and with a lifetime of ... full review
If you like watching privileged beautiful people flitting from expensive homes to fancy restaurants to dazzling tourist attractions to plush hotel rooms and gala gallery openings, you're likely to fin... full review
While the territory is familiar, the terrain is new: Allen shoots his title city with an eye for its art and architecture. full review
Despite the big budget and name stars, Vicky Cristina Barcelona shows Allen's 98th film stumbling into mumblecore, fumbling with love and class like a spoiled brat who's never seen a Rohmer, Malle, Re... full review
In this light-comic breeze of a movie, Cruz is a gathering storm. full review
Given its particulars, Vicky Cristina Barcelona ought to have been an eye-roller. What a surprise that it's so seductive. full review
