If only Hollywood made movies like this! A fist fight is the worst thing there is in this movie and it's mild. This movie gets the point across without the Hollywood depravity of today's movies. It's light and it's almost a true comedy, but it certainly should serve as an inspiration to a few writers out there. We need more movies like this with a real message instead of the films with gratuitous elements thrown in to reach wider audiences like we see most often in American films.

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is in spanish just in case... I cry every time I watch it....And of course I've seen it like a million times already.

I recommend it for girly girls...its way too good.

'Inspiración' isn't. For those who have the patience to sit through this Mexican extended novella, discovering that other countries are capable of producing the kind of summer chick flick messes that Hollywood cranks out ad infinitum will be the surprising reward. Written and directed by Angel Mario Huerta and starring a group of Mexican TV actors, 'Inspiración' has little to recommend it.

A group of Macho guys (supposedly teenagers although all of the actors are obviously aged well beyond that!) with little on their minds except dating, doing the club scene, sporting wagers about girls as though the girls were game-things for goals, spur on the naive Gabriel (Arath de la Torre) to pursue a beauty he merely glimpses and gets a first name Alejandra (Bárbara Mori). Gabriel in 'inspired' to write poetry (not a pastime appropriate to macho men...) in response to Alejandra, has a confrontation with his father that begins with the usual flair of son not living up to father ideals and ends with a complete reversal of tears and forgiveness..., and is rigged into assignation with his 'inspiration'. Each move Gabriel makes to woo Alejandra results in disaster in situations intended to be humorous but that are really just gross or silly.

It is the old, tired story of boy meets girl, boy falls all over himself to impress, girl initially responds but is gradually repulsed by boy's insipid arrogance and behavior, boy looses hold on girl, and eventually boy gets girl. Yes, that is it! The acting is almost as weak as the script and direction and while some of the actors are attractive people, they have no sense of comedy or love chemistry or charisma. The film is overproduced, with more emphasis on décolletage than on character development, and in the end the only saving grace is seeing Monterey, Mexico and surrounding areas to advantage. Definitely a class B movie that probably should not have been exported. 92 long minutes in length and with English subtitles. Grady Harp, July 05

Best movie so far. Barbara Mori and Arath the Torre make wonderful chemistry together!!! It is a must see. Best Movie eveerrr!!!

get a date.

She's not much interested in him. Barbara's role is a rich, mature girl in a big house with a maid that screens people who come to the door.

Ok for a teen movie. Characters were fairly one dimensional.
It had some good moments.

In the beginning I hesitated whether to buy the movie or not. But when I did. I was surprised in a good way. It is a sweet romantic movie. Although it is slow and the acting is not of an oscar material, but the story and the way that the movie was directed, would make you forget the above. I recommend this movie as it has comedy & romance.

This movie is pretty silly. Although Barbara Mori is a good actress, this movie is not on her best work list. She plays her character well. But, there's absolutely no point to the story.

This movie is simply the repetitive story of the clumsy geek getting the girl. There you have it. That's the plot, and that's the entire movie.

I think a better movie with Barbara in it is "La Mujer de mi Hermano." I really enjoyed that one.

Alright, well I thought this movie was really funny. I don't like chick flicks and this was def not one. The main character's friends are hillarious; really life-like...as in they would be any guy's best friends. They are always making fun of the main character and setting him up with horrible, annoying women. The movie was quite entertaining and not a waste of time. Watch it if you want to see a light comedy/romance movie. It's great!

Inspiration is one of the most romantics films of the new mexican cinema, You will laugh, cry, have fun and you will remember the real meaning of The Love, I am sure that this film will touch the Heart of many people, you can enjoy this movie with your entire family or with your husband or wife, I Higly recomend this film.
