Although the movie has gained much hype from media, I did not find any thing good in it. Watching the movie , in the true sense, would be a mere waste of time. | | | | Reply | | |      Vincent says @ Wednesday - September 03,2008
If any one wants to take respite from hassles of day to day life watching 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' would be ideal for them . In other words it is full of fun , romance that can entertain any one to their heat's content. | | | | Reply | | |
