Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Release Date: 08/15/08
Cast: Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Patricia Clarkson
Scoop: Vicky and Cristina, two young Americans, spend a summer in Spain and meet a flamboyant artist and his beautiful but insane ex-wife. Vicky is straight-laced and about to be married. Cristina is a sexually adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, both comedic and harrowing results ensue.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: Is she taking a stop along the "walk of shame" (with bed-head and all); or is she throwing caution to the wind, with suspicion and other more pressing issues on her plate. Either way, we're getting a sense she's definitely a hot mess. More emphasis, though, on the hot. The camera just adds another dynamic to the mystery.
Snapshot Prediction: 4.5 out of 5 flashes
