L'Auberge Espagnol

Although this was done from the point of view of a Frenchman (and I'm lately anti-French), it was fairly well done. This was about a French college grad looking for direction, and follows his father's advice to study Spanish economics and secure a good job. He goes to graduate school in Barcelona and immerses himself into society there. As the title indicates, he ends up renting a huge apartment along with others. There were so many nationalities represented in the apartment-Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, and I think Swiss. Plus, the hodgepodge of spoken languages is very entertaining. English is spoken part of the time, but it is subtitled a lot, so if you don't like that, you won't like the movie. Very fun and very cool flick.

Yeah, I've heard some good things about it.

I suspect, Chaplin, that not many folks here will be going to see it. It's not mainstream and famous but, perhaps more importantly, not all areas have theaters that show smaller release films like this. That's what I love about where I live now and where I'm moving to-I'll be able to see these types of flicks.

Recently watched it. Good movie, but I was a little disappointed in the size of Audrey Tautou's part. I was hoping to see more of her, she wasn't even a main character.

The scene near the end when the boyfriend makes his unexpected visit was hilarious.

Was pretty good, kinda boring in places.
