Sue and I just got through seeing Bella.
Its a low budget indie film that has taken to self distribution. I choose it in out local red box, and you may do the same at yours. Sue loved it and thinks that everyone should see it. Below is the cut and paste scenario.
One Moment Can Change Your Life Forever. An international soccer star (Eduardo Verastegui) is on his way to sign a multimillion dollar contract when something happens that brings his career to an abrupt end. A beautiful waitress (Tammy Blanchard), struggling to make it in New York City, discovers something about herself that she's unprepared for. In one irreversible moment, their lives are turned upside down...until a simple gesture of kindness brings them both together, turning an ordinary day into an unforgettable experience. Cast: Eduardo Verastegui, Tammy Blanchard Director: Alejandro Monteverde
It has some very cool moments in it. Sue and I both predicted the climaxes and the ending. It was still cool and smaltzy.
After winning the Toronto film festival, the producers distributed it themselves. They had showing everywhere. Goya foods, the largest Latino food company in the US liked it so much that they started buying up tickets and giving them to people that would not usually go to a movie.
It is pretty uplifting. I didn't have a tear in my eye however. So it is not going for the cheap emotions.
