A successful and single career woman asks her co-worker to pose as her boyfriend at a family wedding back home in Mexico. Her situation gets complicated when her ex shows up at the ceremony.
"Everybody Loves Somebody" doesn't reinvent the rom-com, but it manages to take the formula, shake it up a bit, and come up with something that feels fresh and inventive.
Everybody Loves Somebody doesn't deviate far from the expected rom-com playbook... Nonetheless, the film makes an effective, embraceable statement on realistic expectations of what love can be.
It makes for a film that doesn't take chances, but at least Mastretta knows how to pick a likable cast. That's particularly true with Souza who should be cast in more romances.
Yes, the framework is familiar, but Mastretta's affecting script and realistic performances from Souza and Tiaré Scanda offer enough motivation for us to stay engaged.
The setup is commonplace, but the scenery is delicious, the dialogue refreshingly tart and the keen supporting cast frisky or affecting, as the occasion demands.
