the friends.
This film is a US adaptation of a Spanish movie based on a true story. Went to see it with my wife last weekend, and we enjoyed very much. It is a very cute movie. I dig Harrelson as an actor, and the supporting cast do a good job here too. The story is a tad predictable, though I appreciated how a few surprises were thrown in there towards the end.
