Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

From my favorite movies..

A Brilliant Conflict

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Wow, I hope this isn't the standard for South American romantic comedies. Amanda goes after her boyfriend and best friend with a shotgun for cheating and then ties her "love interest" to a bed in drag, threatens to cut off his man bits, and then calls the local reporters. Oh, then she gets the guy. Because apparently men like women who got off the deep end and try to maim them. There's simply no saving this movie. At least not from this girl's perspective. The leading lady is very beautiful and the transformation is less recognizable than most Hollywood movies but this is pretty bad. The leading guy really wasn't all that cute either. Maybe that's a matter of taste but some eye candy would have redeemed the film slightly.

This great film stars two Latin American legends (Barbara Mori and Marcelo Mazzarello) and tells the story of a woman who seeks to be loved for her inner beauty. Mori's performance is especially captivating in her dual role as heartthrob and ugly duckling... the makeup is subtle, it's her acting which completely separates the two personas.Though it's got the makings of a typical American comedy, it's got none of the formulaic trappings. The result is a well written, brilliantly acted debut by Claudio Dabed. In a time when many of the films emerging from Latin America are weighed down by our struggles with social and political issues, it's refreshing to watch something that reflects some of our humor as well!

It's a shame to see Barbara Mori, one of Mexico's hottest new stars (even if she is not Mexican) to be in a very bad movie, like "Pretendiendo" (Pretending). The story is lame, and you can't believe what your eyes are seeing. Very bad cinematography and even worst direction. I know that is the first job as a director for Claudio Dabed, but everyone involved in this awful movie should be ashamed. Barbara is a very beautiful girl and in the parts of the movie where she represents "the girl everybody wants" she does not look pretty, because of the very bad cinematography. The leading man it's supposed to be a handsome guy, but this one wasn't. A very bad choice for everyone who worked in this project.

wow this is a really nice movie....I'm Puerto Rican and its the first time i like a movie from Chile....i think Barbara Morie its a nice actress and hot woman...i like the way she acts ..shes so professional...and i hope she will get to Hollywood soon because shes hot..........i hope u people like this movie''pretending''because its really good and funny. i can imagine that....Barbara in a movie with Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston.....the 3 evil womens,anyone can watch this movie well some parts are for adults but its okay because almost the whole movie contents funny parts.Barbara its really cute and some people think shes just pretty but shes not just pretty.shes hot..cute..talent....
