Stars: Eduardo Verastegui, Tammy Blanchard
Premise: Up-and-coming soccer star and down-on-her-luck waitress experience tragedy and unfortunate circumstances, only to bond and rediscover joy in life over the course of one unforgettable day.
Review: A cute little drama. Jose (Verastegui) is a cook working for his brother, Manny, and has little spark in his life following a tragic experience years earlier. Nina (Blanchard) is a waitress who has become a burden in the restaurant due to circumstances beyond her control. After she gets fired by Manny, Jose experiences sympathy for her and decides to look into what's going on in her life. As they share their life stories and experience a wonderful day together, they bond and both open up. The name of the movie, Bella, takes on a multi-faceted meaning throughout the film. Portions of the movie are in Spanish, reflecting Jose's family and background.
Quite enjoyable.
Overall: Good.
