The film follows Clara (Karla Souza, who does NOT resemble one Avery Segapeli as some people I know have suggested). She is an OB-GYN and when she is not working she is usually drinking, trying to get over Daniel (Jose Maria Yazpik) the man she loved and left her eight years prior. Clara needs a date to her parent's wedding and decides to invite her co-worker (Ben O'Toole). Daniel shows up at this wedding and a love triangle begins.
We go from LA to Mexico, from English to Spanish and in that sense it is delightful. Actually, it is delightful in many ways even if the setup is cliche and you can probably guess the ending just by this review.
The film manages to throw in a lot of charm and genuine non-cliched romance between Carla's sister and brother in law. They have been married for a while, and even when it seems like their marriage is set to end, they remember why they are together in the first place and that makes it all worthwhile.
