Woman on Top
(2000)
Woman on Top
pretends to be your standard fish-out-of-water romantic comedy laced with
touches of magic realism. When you break it down and look at its elements,
however, it turns out to be different than most, which is good. Hot Spanish star
Penélope Cruz (All About My Mother) plays Isabella Oliveira, a Brazilian
chef who falls madly in love with, and marries, a dashing waiter (Murilo
Benício)...it's chock-full of seductive Brazilian music. --Andy
