THE BEST SURPRISE IN MEXICAN CINEMA
This is one of the most powerful, tender, and well-acted films of forbidden love I have ever seen with an amazing cast with a beautifully interwoven soundtrack of the best Spanish rock bands in Mexico. I bought the DVD in Mexico in '02 just a year after its theatrical release without having seen it. I only asked about it since I was seeing posters all over the city.

I was glad that I bought it and showed it to my Spanish students. The result was nothing but tears and amazement at a beautifully told story of an impossible love because of an extreme difference in class. A teenage boy from a humble upper low class family falls in love with a upper class teenage girl; a love that is frowned upon in reality in actual Mexico City, where the story takes place.

Be ready to feel for the characters, understand the societal structure, and sense the frustration that the two main characters face while they struggle to be together for love. An amazing film for being a teenage love story... This was truly an Oscar-worthy film!

Awesome
I Really luv the Movie it is an awesome Romeo & Juliet luv story with a verry sad ending. Great!!!

Very unforgetable!
This movie is a great adaptation. It has everything the classic romeo&Juliet story has- drama and tragedy! lol. The characters wer believable and the movie made you want them to end up together in the end. But of course, not possible.
