Alright moviegoers take a break from the usual blockbuster hit of the weekend and try something different. In limited release right now is a fantastic movie named "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". In this film, Woody Allen brings to us a quirky and humorous story about love. In the movie, two young American women, Vicky (Rebecca Hall), and Cristina (Scarlette Johansson), head to Barcelona for their summer vacation. While there, the two meet Juan Antonio (Javier Barden), an outgoing, and seductive painter, who is still involved with his somewhat insane ex-wife Maria Elena (Penelope Cruz). An unforgettable adventure soon begins for the girls once meeting this strapping fella, and his estranged wife. Love ensues in the movie, in all its forms, setting the stage for a story full of surprising twists and turns and funny moments that all take place in scenic Barcelona.
