This is a fun film and has several things going for it. Firstly it is sexy without being vulgar, proving that comedy without vulgarity is feasible. Secondly it is easy on the eye (Penelope) and the ears (Latin Rhythms). Thirdly, it is a fairy tale, both in content and format and hence totally unbelievable. And like all fairy tales, this one too has a moral...which is for the viewers to discover. The best thing about the movie it its old world charms, which is so endearing. Though eminently forgettable once you are out of the cinema hall, while inside, it is worth every minute of yours.Recommended to take along someone you love.

''Woman on Top'' is not a big movie. In fact, it's a little silly and easy to be guessed, although it has some nice elements to be showed. I am a Brazilian girl,so for me, it's nice to see a movie who tells a little bit about my country's story or traditions. But if you are a foreigner, please, do not think that all the cities of Brazil are like Bahia or have the same habits. Not everybody here practices Camdoblé as well. The best character of this movie got to be Harold Perrineau in the role of Monica: the guy had a complete transformation to be like a transvestite! And he has a great performance, I do need to say! Well, only brazillians who are going to watch this movie are going to see some famous faces around here, like Lazaro Ramos or Daniele Suzuki.

I loved this film! It's very picturesque, and imaginative and tells the story of love very well. The script is solid and has Penelope Cruz (pre-Hollywood rubbish and Tom Cruise days) starring as Isabelle, a beautiful young cook who moves to San Francisco when her husband cheats on her. She becomes a very popular and highly rated TV show host which helps her husband to track her down and try to win her back. This is a very romantic film! It just tugs at your heart, makes you laugh, makes you cry and makes you want this sort of romanticism in your life! Oh and by the way, What is San Francisco without a drag queen? and this film serves up one as one of the main characters in the most deliriously hilarious way! A+ A must see!
